Sanic-Synchro-Ctx

Plugin to provide an App context that is shared across multiple workers

Can use native python SyncManager backend, or Redis if you want. (Redis is much faster).

Installation

$ pip3 install sanic-synchro-ctx

Or in a python virtualenv (these example commandline instructions are for a Linux/Unix based OS)

$ python3 -m virtualenv --python=python3 --no-site-packages .venv
$ source ./.venv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install sanic sanic-synchro-ctx

To exit the virtual enviornment:

$ deactivate

Redis Extension

You can install the relevant Redis libraries for this plugin, with the installable redis extension:

$ pip3 install sanic-synchro-ctx[redis]

That is the same as running:

$ pip3 install "sanic-synchro-ctx" "aioredis>=2.0" "hiredis>=1.0"

Compatibility

• Works with Python 3.8 and greater.
• Works with Sanic v21.9.0 and greater.
• If you are installing the redis library separately, use aioredis >= 2.0

Usage

A very simple example, it uses the native python SyncManager backend, doesn't require a Redis connection.

from sanic_synchro_ctx import SanicSynchroCtx
app = Sanic("sample")
s = SanicSynchroCtx(app)

@app.after_server_start
def handler(app, loop=None):
    # This will only set this value if it doesn't already exist
    # So only the first worker will set this value
    app.ctx.synchro.set_default({"counter": 0})

@app.route("/inc")
def increment(request: Request):
    # atomic increment operation
    counter = request.app.ctx.synchro.increment("counter")
    print("counter: {}".format(counter), flush=True)
    return html("<p>Incremented!</p>")

@app.route("/count")
def increment(request: Request):
    # Get from shared context:
    counter = request.app.ctx.synchro.counter
    print("counter: {}".format(counter), flush=True)
    return html(f"<p>count: {counter}</p>")

app.run("127.0.0.1", port=8000, workers=8)

Redis example:

from sanic_synchro_ctx import SanicSynchroCtx
redis = aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost")
app = Sanic("sample")
s = SanicSynchroCtx(app, backend="redis", redis_client=redis)

@app.after_server_start
async def handler(app, loop=None):
    # This will only set this value if it doesn't already exist
    # So only the first worker will set this value
    await app.ctx.synchro.set_default({"counter": 0})

@app.route("/inc")
async def increment(request: Request):
    # atomic increment operation
    counter = await request.app.ctx.synchro.increment("counter")
    print(f"counter: {counter}", flush=True)
    return html("<p>Incremented!</p>")

@app.route("/count")
async def increment(request: Request):
    # Get from shared context:
    counter = await request.app.ctx.synchro.counter
    print(f"counter: {counter}", flush=True)
    return html(f"<p>count: {counter}</p>")

app.run("127.0.0.1", port=8000, workers=8)

Benchmarks

I've done some basic benchmarks. SyncManager works surprisingly well, but Redis backend is much faster.
