How Habby enhanced resiliency and system robustness using Valkey GLIDE and Amazon ElastiCache
- Habby, a game studio, faced challenges with connection stability in their chat functionality using Amazon ElastiCache for Redis OSS publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) during infrastructure changes.
- To address this, they adopted Valkey GLIDE, a client library for Amazon ElastiCache, which improved system reliability, handling 500,000 concurrent players and 100,000 queries per second during failover testing.
- Habby's messaging system architecture includes WebSocket servers, IM services, REST API servers, and Amazon ElastiCache cluster for message delivery and interaction management.
- The system uses Valkey GLIDE for client communication with Amazon ElastiCache, improving message delivery through unicast, broadcast, and multicast distribution types.
- Valkey GLIDE provides features like robust failover system, direct primary node subscription, customizable retry configuration, and independent subscription client for reliability and scalability.
- The article details Player class implementation, connection management, message sending and receiving, with emphasis on system structuring and configuration.
- Valkey GLIDE migration resulted in efficient failover handling, supporting 500,000 concurrent players and 100,000 QPS load with 500 node capacity and sharded Pub/Sub architecture of Amazon ElastiCache.
- The implementation completed in two weeks, enhancing system reliability and performance, laying a foundation for scalability and high performance for Habby's message delivery system.
- The authors include Shuxiang Zhao, Haoyang Yu from Habby, Lili Ma, Xin Zhang, and Siva Karuturi from AWS, specializing in game backend, software development, database solutions, and solutions architecture.
- Overall, the Valkey GLIDE and Amazon ElastiCache integration significantly improved system reliability and performance for Habby's game studio, offering a fault-tolerant architecture for message delivery.
