state-machine-semaphore 0.0.0

Create distributed semaphores using AWS Step Functions and Amazon DynamoDB to control concurrent invocations of contentious work.

@dontirun/state-machine-semaphore

An aws-cdk construct that enables you to use AWS Step Functions to control concurrency in your distributed system. You can use this construct to distributed state machine semaphores to control concurrent invocations of contentious work.

This construct is based off of Justin Callison's example code. Make sure to check out Justin's blogpost to learn about how the system works.

Examples

Example 1) A state machine with a controlled job

import { Function } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda'; import { Duration, Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib'; import { StateMachine, Succeed, Wait, WaitTime } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions'; import { LambdaInvoke } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks'; import { Construct } from 'constructs'; import { SemaphoreGenerator } from '@dontirun/state-machine-semaphore'; export class CdkTestStack extends Stack { constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) { super(scope, id, props); const contestedJob = new LambdaInvoke(this, 'ContestedJobPart1', { lambdaFunction: Function.fromFunctionName(this, 'JobFunctionPart1', 'cool-function'), }).next(new Wait(this, 'Wait', { time: WaitTime.duration(Duration.seconds(7)) })) .next(new Wait(this, 'AnotherWait', { time: WaitTime.duration(Duration.seconds(7)) })) .next(new Wait(this, 'YetAnotherWait', { time: WaitTime.duration(Duration.seconds(7)) })); const afterContestedJob = new Succeed(this, 'Succeed'); const generator = new SemaphoreGenerator(this, 'SemaphoreGenerator'); const stateMachineFragment = generator.generateSemaphoredJob('life', 42, contestedJob, afterContestedJob); new StateMachine(this, 'StateMachine', { definition: stateMachineFragment, }); } }

Example 2) A state machine with multiple semaphores

import { Function } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda'; import { Duration, Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib'; import { StateMachine, Succeed, Wait, WaitTime } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions'; import { LambdaInvoke } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks'; import { Construct } from 'constructs'; import { SemaphoreGenerator } from '@dontirun/state-machine-semaphore'; export class CdkTestStack extends Stack { constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) { super(scope, id, props); const contestedJob = new LambdaInvoke(this, 'ContestedJobPart1', { lambdaFunction: Function.fromFunctionName(this, 'JobFunctionPart1', 'cool-function'), }) const notContestedJob = new LambdaInvoke(this, 'NotContestedJob', { lambdaFunction: Function.fromFunctionName(this, 'NotContestedJobFunction', 'cooler-function'), }) const contestedJob2 = new LambdaInvoke(this, 'ContestedJobPart2', { lambdaFunction: Function.fromFunctionName(this, 'JobFunctionPart2', 'coolest-function'), }) const afterContestedJob2 = new Succeed(this, 'Succeed'); const generator = new SemaphoreGenerator(this, 'SemaphoreGenerator'); const stateMachineFragment = generator.generateSemaphoredJob('life', 42, contestedJob, notContestedJob); const stateMachineFragment2 = generator.generateSemaphoredJob('liberty', 7, contestedJob2, afterContestedJob2); new StateMachine(this, 'StateMachine', { definition: stateMachineFragment.next(stateMachineFragment2), }); } }
