Netty and GRPC by default spawns an incredible number of threads on high-core CPUs, which amount to a fair bit of RAM usage.
Add custom executors that throttle this behavior.
Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one.
While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.
Cleaning out a lot of old junk from the code, and one thing lead to another...
* Build is improved, now constructing docker images with 'jib'. Clean build went from 3 minutes to 50 seconds.
* The ProcessService's spawning is smarter. Will now just spawn a java process instead of relying on the application plugin's generated outputs.
* Project is migrated to GraalVM
* gRPC clients are re-written with a neat fluent/functional style. e.g.
```channelPool.call(grpcStub::method)
.async(executor) // <-- optional
.run(argument);
```
This change is primarily to allow handling ManagedChannel errors, but it turned out to be a pretty clean API overall.
* For now the project is all in on zookeeper
* Service discovery is now based on APIs and not services. Theoretically means we could ship the same code either a monolith or a service mesh.
* To this end, began modularizing a few of the APIs so that they aren't strongly "living" in a service. WIP!
Missing is documentation and testing, and some more breaking apart of code.
