apigateway-examples

Configuration examples with the API Gateway.

Examples in this repository are based on a docker-compose setup with:

The API Gateway
Redis
Hello-world sample microservice

These examples assume port 80 is available for the API Gateway.

Repo structure

common folder defines environment specific info such as redis IP.
oauth2/<provider> folder defines sample configuration files with identity providers
benchmark folder defines a configuration file to be used for running some benchmarks. More details bellow.

OAuth2

Sample configurations for setting up OAuth validation with the following identity providers.

Google

$ make google

Once docker-compose is started open http://localhost/api/echo/headers/?user_token=123.

You should a message saying that the token is not valid:

{
  error_code: "401013",
  message: "Oauth token is not valid"
}

To obtain a valid token you can use the OAuth playground, authorizing an application against any Google API using the following 2 scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email

Copy the access_token obtained from the OAuth playground in the URI http://localhost/api/echo/headers/?user_token=<access_token>

Now you should see the request headers printed out:

Accept=[text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8]
Accept-Encoding=[gzip, deflate, sdch, br]
Accept-Language=[en-US,en;q=0.8,ro;q=0.6]
Cache-Control=[max-age=0]
Connection=[close]
Cookie=[Idea-164c50e1=c7b8d1e8-8dda-449f-aae0-69e05b2a7097]
Host=[microservice]
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests=[1]
User-Agent=[Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.98 Safari/537.36]
X-GW-Client-Id=[XXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com]
X-GW-Scope=[https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email]
X-GW-User-Id=[XXXXXXXXXX]

The X-GW-* headers have been added by the Gateway from the information associated with the OAuth token.

View what has been saved in Redis Cache

$ docker-compose exec redis redis-cli KEYS cachedoauth:*
1) "cachedoauth:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:www.googleapis.com"

# view the info cached for this token
$ docker-compose exec redis redis-cli HGET cachedoauth:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:www.googleapis.com token_json

# verify the TTL for the cached info in Redis
$ docker-compose exec redis redis-cli TTL cachedoauth:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:www.googleapis.com
(integer) <seconds>

Benchmark

The current benchmark focuses on testing an end-to-end authorization flow with an OAuth provider such as Google, also invoking the validation framework. The results highlight the performance of the validation framework and NGINX/Openresty, all together.

To start the API Gateway, its Redis dependency, and a sample microservice execute:

$ make benchmark

The setup for benchmarking assumes the machine has 4 CPUS available for docker; the API GW uses the first 2, so that wrk uses the last 2. Redis and the sample microservices shares any of them.

Once docker-compose is started, execute perf tests using wrk :

$ docker run --cpuset-cpus=2-3 --net=host --rm williamyeh/wrk:4.0.1 -t2 -c500 -d30s http://localhost/api/echo/headers -H "Authorization: Bearer <replace-me-with-a-google-token>"

Follow the instructions above to get a Google token.

You should see an output like the following:

Running 30s test @ http://localhost/api/echo/headers
  2 threads and 500 connections
  Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
    Latency    50.75ms  125.62ms   1.32s    93.15%
    Req/Sec    10.83k     2.07k   16.91k    80.77%
  644553 requests in 30.09s, 176.39MB read
  Socket errors: connect 0, read 0, write 0, timeout 368
Requests/sec:  21424.28
Transfer/sec:      5.86MB

This output was generated by executing the benchmark test on a MAC with i7 CPU @2.7Ghz, Docker Version 17.03.1-ce-mac12 (17661), and docker-compose version 1.11.2, build dfed245.

Debugging the test

To debug the response of the HTTP request used in the tests issue a simple curl command :

$ docker run --net=host --rm appropriate/curl http://localhost/api/echo/headers -H "Authorization: Bearer <replace-me-with-a-google-token>" -sSL

OK

If the Oauth token is correct the response should say OK, otherwise it should say {"error_code":"401013","message":"Oauth token is not valid"}.
