From 77cf28e90843c3cc608b22fb8b3056f76ea2f585 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Graham McIntire Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:34:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add connection draining for cluster load balancing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements automatic connection draining to balance load across cluster nodes: - ConnectionMonitor tracks CPU usage and connection counts across nodes - Triggers draining when node is overloaded (>70% CPU or 2x avg connections) - LiveViews gracefully disconnect and reconnect to less loaded nodes - Helps prevent single pod from handling all WebSocket connections Also fixes Mic-E packet parsing to properly extract altitude data and remove telemetry suffixes from comments. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CHANGELOG.md | 9 + assets/js/app.js | 13 ++ lib/aprsme/application.ex | 3 +- lib/aprsme/connection_monitor.ex | 239 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/aprsme_web/live/map_live/index.ex | 77 ++++++--- 5 files changed, 320 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/aprsme/connection_monitor.ex diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 397d297..bbbe6c3 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -16,6 +16,11 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0 -
