Failover Strategies and Resilience
Implement robust failover mechanisms and resilience patterns across multiple environments. This guide covers strategies for handling failures, implementing automated recovery, and ensuring high availability across hybrid infrastructure.
Overview
Failover strategies in @xec-sh/core enable:
- Automatic switching between primary and backup environments
- Graceful degradation when services become unavailable
- Recovery patterns for different failure scenarios
- Cross-environment redundancy and resilience
Basic Failover Patterns
Simple Environment Failover
Switch between environments when the primary becomes unavailable:
import { $ } from '@xec-sh/core';
interface EnvironmentTarget {
name: string;
type: 'local' | 'ssh' | 'docker' | 'kubernetes';
config: any;
priority: number;
healthCheck: () => Promise<boolean>;
}
async function executeWithFailover(
command: string,
environments: EnvironmentTarget[]
): Promise<any> {
// Sort by priority (lowest number = highest priority)
const sortedEnvironments = [...environments].sort((a, b) => a.priority - b.priority);
for (const env of sortedEnvironments) {
console.log(`Attempting execution on ${env.name}...`);
try {
// Check environment health first
const isHealthy = await env.healthCheck();
if (!isHealthy) {
console.log(`${env.name} is unhealthy, trying next environment`);
continue;
}
// Execute command based on environment type
const executor = createExecutor(env);
const result = await executor`${command}`;
console.log(`✅ Successfully executed on ${env.name}`);
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error(`❌ Failed on ${env.name}: ${error.message}`);
// If this is the last environment, throw the error
if (env === sortedEnvironments[sortedEnvironments.length - 1]) {
throw new Error(`All environments failed. Last error: ${error.message}`);
}
// Otherwise, continue to next environment
continue;
}
}
}
function createExecutor(env: EnvironmentTarget) {
switch (env.type) {
case 'local':
return $;
case 'ssh':
return $.ssh(env.config);
case 'docker':
return $.docker(env.config);
case 'kubernetes':
return $.k8s(env.config);
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown environment type: ${env.type}`);
}
}
// Example usage
const environments: EnvironmentTarget[] = [
{
name: 'production-k8s',
type: 'kubernetes',
config: { namespace: 'production' },
priority: 1,
healthCheck: async () => {
try {
const result = await $.k8s({ namespace: 'production' })`kubectl get nodes`;
return result.stdout.includes('Ready');
} catch {
return false;
}
}
},
{
name: 'backup-ssh',
type: 'ssh',
config: { host: 'backup.example.com', username: 'admin' },
priority: 2,
healthCheck: async () => {
try {
await $.ssh({ host: 'backup.example.com' })`echo "health check"`;
return true;
} catch {
return false;
}
}
},
{
name: 'local-fallback',
type: 'local',
config: {},
priority: 3,
healthCheck: async () => true // Local is always available
}
];
// Execute with automatic failover
await executeWithFailover('python process_data.py', environments);
Database Failover with Connection Pooling
Implement database failover across different environments:
class DatabaseFailover {
private connections: Map<string, any> = new Map();
private currentPrimary: string | null = null;
constructor(private databases: DatabaseConfig[]) {}
async execute(query: string): Promise<any> {
const sortedDbs = [...this.databases].sort((a, b) => a.priority - b.priority);
for (const db of sortedDbs) {
try {
// Check if we have a healthy connection
const connection = await this.getConnection(db);
// Execute query
const result = await this.executeQuery(connection, query);
// Update current primary if successful
if (this.currentPrimary !== db.name) {
console.log(`Switched to database: ${db.name}`);
this.currentPrimary = db.name;
}
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Database ${db.name} failed: ${error.message}`);
// Remove failed connection
this.connections.delete(db.name);
// Continue to next database
continue;
}
}
throw new Error('All database connections failed');
}
private async getConnection(db: DatabaseConfig) {
if (this.connections.has(db.name)) {
const connection = this.connections.get(db.name);
// Test existing connection
try {
await this.testConnection(connection, db);
return connection;
} catch {
// Connection is dead, remove it
this.connections.delete(db.name);
}
}
// Create new connection
const connection = await this.createConnection(db);
this.connections.set(db.name, connection);
return connection;
}
private async createConnection(db: DatabaseConfig) {
switch (db.environment.type) {
case 'local':
return $;
case 'ssh':
return $.ssh(db.environment.config);
case 'docker':
return $.docker(db.environment.config);
case 'kubernetes':
return $.k8s(db.environment.config);
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown environment: ${db.environment.type}`);
}
}
private async testConnection(connection: any, db: DatabaseConfig) {
await connection`psql -d ${db.database} -c "SELECT 1"`;
}
private async executeQuery(connection: any, query: string) {
return connection`psql -d production -c "${query}"`;
}
}
interface DatabaseConfig {
name: string;
priority: number;
database: string;
environment: {
type: 'local' | 'ssh' | 'docker' | 'kubernetes';
config: any;
};
}
// Example usage
const dbFailover = new DatabaseFailover([
{
name: 'primary-k8s',
priority: 1,
database: 'production',
environment: {
type: 'kubernetes',
config: { namespace: 'database' }
}
},
{
name: 'replica-ssh',
priority: 2,
database: 'production_replica',
environment: {
type: 'ssh',
config: { host: 'db-replica.example.com' }
}
},
{
name: 'local-dev',
priority: 3,
database: 'development',
environment: {
type: 'local',
config: {}
}
}
]);
await dbFailover.execute('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users');
Advanced Failover Patterns
Circuit Breaker with Environment Switching
Implement circuit breaker pattern across environments:
class EnvironmentCircuitBreaker {
private circuitStates = new Map<string, CircuitState>();
private lastFailureTimes = new Map<string, number>();
constructor(
private environments: EnvironmentTarget[],
private config: CircuitBreakerConfig = {
failureThreshold: 5,
recoveryTimeout: 60000,
halfOpenMaxCalls: 3
}
) {
// Initialize all circuits as closed
environments.forEach(env => {
this.circuitStates.set(env.name, CircuitState.CLOSED);
});
}
async execute(operation: string): Promise<any> {
const availableEnvironments = this.getAvailableEnvironments();
if (availableEnvironments.length === 0) {
throw new Error('All circuit breakers are open');
}
// Try environments in priority order
for (const env of availableEnvironments) {
const state = this.circuitStates.get(env.name);
// Skip if circuit is open and not ready for recovery
if (state === CircuitState.OPEN && !this.isReadyForRecovery(env.name)) {
continue;
}
// If circuit is open but ready for recovery, set to half-open
if (state === CircuitState.OPEN && this.isReadyForRecovery(env.name)) {
this.circuitStates.set(env.name, CircuitState.HALF_OPEN);
console.log(`Circuit for ${env.name} is now HALF_OPEN`);
}
try {
const executor = createExecutor(env);
const result = await executor`${operation}`;
// Success: close the circuit
this.onSuccess(env.name);
return result;
} catch (error) {
// Failure: handle based on current state
this.onFailure(env.name);
// Continue to next environment
continue;
}
}
throw new Error('All available environments failed');
}
private getAvailableEnvironments(): EnvironmentTarget[] {
return this.environments
.filter(env => {
const state = this.circuitStates.get(env.name);
return state === CircuitState.CLOSED ||
state === CircuitState.HALF_OPEN ||

})
.sort((a, b) => a.priority - b.priority);
}
private isReadyForRecovery(envName: string): boolean {
const lastFailure = this.lastFailureTimes.get(envName);
if (!lastFailure) return true;

}

this.circuitStates.set(envName, CircuitState.OPEN);
console.log(`Circuit for ${envName} is now OPEN (half-open failure)`);
} else if (state === CircuitState.CLOSED) {
// Check if we've exceeded the failure threshold
// For simplicity, we'll open immediately on any failure
// In production, you'd track failure count
this.circuitStates.set(envName, CircuitState.OPEN);
console.log(`Circuit for ${envName} is now OPEN`);
}
}
getCircuitStatus(): Record<string, { state: CircuitState; lastFailure?: number }> {
const status: Record<string, any> = {};
this.environments.forEach(env => {
status[env.name] = {
state: this.circuitStates.get(env.name),
lastFailure: this.lastFailureTimes.get(env.name)
};
});
return status;
}
}
enum CircuitState {
CLOSED = 'CLOSED',
OPEN = 'OPEN',
HALF_OPEN = 'HALF_OPEN'
}
interface CircuitBreakerConfig {
failureThreshold: number;
recoveryTimeout: number;
halfOpenMaxCalls: number;
}
// Example usage
const circuitBreaker = new EnvironmentCircuitBreaker(environments);
try {

console.log('Operation successful:', result.stdout);
} catch (error) {

}
Load Balancing with Health Monitoring
Distribute load across healthy environments:
class EnvironmentLoadBalancer {

constructor(

});
}

Best Practices
1. Failover Strategy Design
- Define clear priority orders for environments
- Implement proper health checks for each environment type
- Plan for graceful degradation scenarios
- Document recovery procedures
2. Circuit Breaker Configuration
- Set appropriate failure thresholds
- Configure reasonable recovery timeouts
- Monitor circuit breaker states
- Implement alerting for circuit breaker state changes
3. Load Balancing Considerations
- Choose appropriate load balancing algorithms
- Monitor resource utilization across environments
- Implement connection pooling where appropriate
- Handle environment-specific rate limits
4. Monitoring and Alerting
- Track failover events and frequency
- Monitor environment health continuously
- Set up alerts for environment failures
- Log all recovery attempts and outcomes
5. Testing Failover Scenarios
- Regularly test failover mechanisms
- Simulate various failure scenarios
- Validate recovery procedures
- Measure failover times and impact
Conclusion
Robust failover strategies in @xec-sh/core enable building resilient systems that can handle various failure scenarios across hybrid infrastructure. By implementing proper circuit breakers, load balancing, and auto-recovery mechanisms, you can ensure high availability and graceful degradation when services become unavailable.
The key to successful failover implementation is thorough testing, continuous monitoring, and well-defined recovery procedures for each environment type.
