A middleware designed by alibaba: standard, universal and powerful

AppActive is an open source middleware that builds a cloud-native, high-availability and multi-active disaster tolerance architecture for business applications. It provides standards, implementations, and demos for applying the multi-active disaster recovery architecture, which is suitable for rich business scenarios (single AZ, single region, single cloud, multi AZ, multi region, multi-cloud, self-built IDC...).

AppActive is an internal open source project of AHAS-MSHA. It is based on Alibaba's nearly 9-year production disaster recovery practice, and combines the best practices of many external customers and communities from Alibaba Cloud's commercial services, and has the characteristics of high reliability and scalability.

The overall structure of AppActive covers the data plane and the control plane. It manages application traffic and data in the whole process. As shown in the figure above, the details can be found in the following links:

• Architecture: Introduce AppActive deployment architecture and technical architecture.
• Concept: Introduce the basic conceptual model of AppActive.
• Features: Introduce the features implemented by AppActive.

The following software are assumed installed:

note：this demo contains many applications, please adjust your memory settings to avoid failures.

1. Run sh run.sh in the appactive-demo module to start all applications
2. Bind hosts: 127.0.0.1 demo.appactive.io, and then visit http://demo.appactive.io/buyProduct?r_id=2000 to see how it works
3. Run sh cut.sh in the appactive-portal module to switch flow. It should be noted that the writing-forbidden rules of this demo are hard-coded. If you want to change the range, you need to calculate the writing-forbidden rules and the next-routing rules, and then execute the flow switch.

If you plan to stop the experience, you can proceed: cd appactive-demo -> docker-compose down
