Scaling the frequency server

In my solution I used a simple round robin implementation to choose between the two servers. I separated the balancer module from the frequency to make the implementation cleaner. I've also moved allocated/0 and deallocated/1 to this module since they are the interfaces.

Scaling up

Suppose that the frequency server needs to serve more frequencies. It would be possible to do this just by having a longer list of frequencies available, but it is likely that this scaling is required not only because more frequencies are needed but also because there are more requests to allocate and de-allocate them.

Sharding the handling of frequencies

Supervision in the frequency server

To give a design understanding of my code. There is a server, supervisor and client that all have their own loops. The server can be started without the supervisor with frequency:start/0. If the server fails, it will not be restarted. To start the server with a supervisor, you can do so with frequency:sup_start/0. To simulate clients, use frequency:sim_clients(N). You can simulate N number of clients running. The function returns the Pids of the spawned processes.

Things to note:

• Because of the timeouts, you'll notice that if you spawn 3 process, you won't always use 3 frequencies. Some times a process will be sleeping so only 2 or 1 process may be running. You can alter the sleep calls accordingly to change this.
• I register the atom io with the main pid (i.e. the shell) so that logging can be sent back to it with ease.
• I've added a lot of logging during each attempt/failure so it might be too verbose for you. Comment some out accordingly.

Why

Instead of checking when your try build is complete, this short python script checks try every 5 mins (you can change the interval if you like) using the treeherder API to see if your try push is complete. Gives you a simple notification in your Notification Center (on Mac OS).

How To Use

• chmod +x try_to_notify
• (Optional) Move to your /usr/local/bin and remove .py extension
• try_to_notify [sha_of_the_try_push]
