🔧 Usage

Basic Integration

use HighPerApp\HighPer\ZeroDowntime\ZeroDowntimeBootstrap;
use HighPerApp\HighPer\Framework\Contracts\ApplicationInterface;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

// Initialize in your application bootstrap
$zeroDowntime = new ZeroDowntimeBootstrap($app, $logger, [
    'reload_strategy' => 'blue-green',
    'enable_connection_migration' => true,
    'enable_request_buffering' => true,
    'worker_count' => 4,
    'graceful_shutdown_timeout' => 30
]);

// Trigger zero-downtime reload
posix_kill(posix_getpid(), SIGHUP);

// Get reload result
$result = $zeroDowntime->performZeroDowntimeReload();
echo "Migrated {$result['migrated_connections']} connections";
echo "Replayed {$result['replayed_requests']} requests";

Service Provider Integration

The package includes a service provider for automatic integration:

// In your application configuration
'providers' => [
    HighPerApp\HighPer\ZeroDowntime\ZeroDowntimeServiceProvider::class,
]

Manual Component Usage

use HighPerApp\HighPer\ZeroDowntime\ConnectionMigration\ConnectionStateSerializer;
use HighPerApp\HighPer\ZeroDowntime\RequestQueue\ProxyRequestQueue;
use HighPerApp\HighPer\WebSocket\WebSocketConnection;
use HighPerApp\HighPer\Websockets\Http2WebSocketConnection;

// Connection serialization with active state management
$serializer = new ConnectionStateSerializer($logger, [
    'compression_enabled' => true,
    'state_storage_path' => '/tmp/highper-connection-states'
]);

// Register connections
$serializer->registerConnection('conn1', $webSocketConnection, 'http1_websocket');
$serializer->registerConnection('conn2', $http2WebSocketConnection, 'http2_websocket');

// Manage connection states for zero-downtime optimization
$serializer->markConnectionActive('conn1');  // O(1) performance
$serializer->markConnectionIdle('conn2');

// Serialize only active connections for priority migration
$activeStates = $serializer->serializeActiveConnections();
echo "Active connections: " . $serializer->getActiveConnectionCount();

// Serialize all connections
$allStates = $serializer->serializeAllConnections();

// Migrate connections to new workers
$workers = [['pid' => 1234], ['pid' => 1235]];
$migrationResult = $serializer->migrateConnectionsToWorkers($workers, $activeStates);

// Request buffering with worker-specific handling
$queue = new ProxyRequestQueue($logger, [
    'max_buffer_size_mb' => 10,
    'max_buffer_time_seconds' => 30,
    'overflow_strategy' => 'reject',
    'priority_headers' => ['x-priority', 'x-urgent']
]);

// Global request buffering
$queue->startBuffering();
$queue->bufferRequest([
    'method' => 'POST',
    'uri' => '/api/data',
    'headers' => ['x-priority' => '1'],
    'body' => json_encode(['data' => 'important'])
]);

// Worker-specific buffering
$workerPid = 1234;
$queue->startWorkerBuffering($workerPid);
$queue->bufferRequest($request, $workerPid);

// Replay buffered requests
$replayResult = $queue->replayBufferedRequests($workers);
echo "Replayed {$replayResult['replayed_requests']} requests in {$replayResult['replay_time_ms']}ms";

// Get queue statistics
$stats = $queue->getStats();
echo "Buffer utilization: {$stats['global_buffer']['size_bytes']} bytes";

🌐 WebSocket Migration

HTTP/2 WebSocket (RFC 8441)

use EaseAppPHP\HighPer\Websockets\Http2WebSocketHandler;

$handler = new Http2WebSocketHandler($logger, [
    'enable_compression' => true,
    'max_frame_size' => 65536
]);

// Handles CONNECT method with :protocol pseudo-header

Connection State Serialization

// Automatic protocol detection and serialization
$connectionStates = $serializer->serializeAllConnections();

// Each state includes:
// - Connection ID and protocol type
// - Remote address and attributes  
// - Protocol-specific state (HTTP/2 stream ID, HTTP/3 QUIC state)
// - Frame buffers and compression context

🚦 Deployment Strategies

Blue-Green Deployment

# Trigger blue-green reload
kill -HUP <master_pid>

Start request queuing - Buffer incoming requests
Serialize connections - Capture all WebSocket states
Spawn green workers - New worker processes
Transfer sockets - Hand off listening sockets
Migrate connections - Restore WebSocket states
Replay requests - Process buffered requests
Terminate blue workers - Clean shutdown

Rolling Deployment

Individual worker replacement with minimal disruption:

# Set rolling strategy
export ZERO_DOWNTIME_STRATEGY=rolling
kill -HUP <master_pid>

Socket Handoff

Master process replacement with complete state transfer:

# Set socket handoff strategy  
export ZERO_DOWNTIME_STRATEGY=socket-handoff
kill -HUP <master_pid>

    'encryption_enabled' => true,
    'encryption_key' => getenv('CONNECTION_STATE_KEY'),
    'compression_enabled' => true
]);

Socket Path Permissions

sudo chmod 750 /var/run/highper

# Set in configuration
export HANDOFF_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/highper/socket-handoff

Request Buffer Limits

// Configure secure buffer limits
$queue = new ProxyRequestQueue($logger, [
    'max_buffer_size_mb' => 10,        // Prevent memory exhaustion
    'max_requests_per_buffer' => 1000, // Limit buffer size
    'max_buffer_time_seconds' => 30,   // Prevent indefinite buffering
    'buffer_to_disk' => false          // Avoid disk-based attacks
]);

Worker Process Isolation

# Configure process limits
export MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB=128
export WORKER_CPU_LIMIT=80
export WORKER_FILE_DESCRIPTOR_LIMIT=1024

# Use systemd for additional isolation
sudo systemctl edit highper-app --force

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Migration Fails

# Check connection state path permissions
ls -la /tmp/highper-connection-states

# Verify protocol support
grep -r "http2_websocket" /var/log/highper/

Request Buffer Overflow

# Increase buffer size
export REQUEST_BUFFER_SIZE_MB=50

# Change overflow strategy
export REQUEST_OVERFLOW_STRATEGY=oldest

Worker Handoff Timeout

# Increase timeout
export HANDOFF_TIMEOUT=60

# Check socket permissions
ls -la /tmp/highper-socket-handoff*
