발송은 성공했는데 알림은 절반만 도착했다
저녁 8시쯤 대시보드를 훑어보다가 이상한 걸 발견했습니다. 푸시 발송 건수가 평소의 절반 수준이었어요. 그런데 에러 로그는 깨끗했고, 서버 헬스체크는 전부 정상이었습니다. 보통 발송이 줄면 에러가 같이 늡니다. 둘이 따로 움직이는 건 이상한 신호였어요. 왜 넘길 수 없었나 알람킹(AlarmKing)은 코인 시세 알람이나 주식 가격 알람처럼, 사용자가 계속 화면을 볼 수 없는 순간을 대신 지켜보다가 조건부알람을 보내주는 ... <a title="발송은 성공했는데 알림은 절반만 도착했다" class="read-more" href="https://novacraftx.com/%ec%83%88%eb%b2%bd-3%ec%8b%9c-%ed%91%b8%ec%8b%9c-%ec%95%8c%eb%a6%bc%ec%9d%b4-%ec%95%88-%ea%b0%94%eb%8b%a4-%ec%a1%b0%ec%9a%a9%ed%95%9c-%ec%9e%a5%ec%95%a0%ec%9d%98-%eb%ac%b4%ec%84%9c%ec%9b%80/" aria-label="Read more about 발송은 성공했는데 알림은 절반만 도착했다">Read more</a>
알람이 3.2초 늦게 울렸다, 데이터는 제때 왔는데 왜 그랬을까
밤 11시쯤 비트코인이 크게 움직이던 구간이었습니다. 설정해둔 알람킹(AlarmKing) 트레이딩 알람이 울렸어요. 그런데 뭔가 늦었습니다. 체감으로도 이상했고, 로그를 확인하니 실제로 늦었어요. 3.2초. 숫자만 보면 작아 보입니다. 하지만 급등락 구간에서 3초면 비트코인이 1.5% 이상 움직일 수 있어요. 알람을 받고 확인하는 순간 이미 지나간 가격이 되는 거죠. 코인 시세 알람에서 지연은 기회 손실과 직결됩니다. 왜 그냥 넘길 수 ... <a title="알람이 3.2초 늦게 울렸다, 데이터는 제때 왔는데 왜 그랬을까" class="read-more" href="https://novacraftx.com/%ec%83%88%eb%b2%bd-4%ec%8b%9c-%ec%95%8c%eb%9e%8c%ec%9d%b4-3%ec%b4%88-%eb%8a%a6%ea%b2%8c-%ec%9a%b8%eb%a0%b8%eb%8b%a4/" aria-label="Read more about 알람이 3.2초 늦게 울렸다, 데이터는 제때 왔는데 왜 그랬을까">Read more</a>
코드는 정상이었는데 서버에서 알람이 안 울렸다, 환경 차이를 찾기까지
알람킹(AlarmKing) 푸시 테스트를 돌리다가 이상한 걸 발견했습니다. 로컬 맥북에서는 알람이 정상적으로 울리는데, 실서버에 올리면 조용했어요. 코드는 같은데, 환경만 달라졌을 뿐인데 결과가 달랐습니다. 그게 사흘간의 추적 시작이었어요. 왜 넘길 수 없었나 알람킹은 사용자가 설정한 조건부 알람을 제때 보내주는 트레이딩 앱입니다. 로컬에서만 울리고 서버에서 안 울린다면, 실제 사용자 환경에서 알람이 도착하지 않는다는 뜻이에요. 출시 전에 반드시 잡아야 ... <a title="코드는 정상이었는데 서버에서 알람이 안 울렸다, 환경 차이를 찾기까지" class="read-more" href="https://novacraftx.com/%ec%83%88%eb%b2%bd-3%ec%8b%9c-%ec%95%8c%eb%9e%8c%ec%9d%b4-%ec%95%88-%ec%9a%b8%eb%a6%b0-%ec%9d%b4%ec%9c%a0%eb%a5%bc-%ec%b0%be%eb%8b%a4%ea%b0%80-%eb%b0%9c%ea%b2%ac%ed%95%9c-%ea%b2%83/" aria-label="Read more about 코드는 정상이었는데 서버에서 알람이 안 울렸다, 환경 차이를 찾기까지">Read more</a>
버그인 줄 알았는데 조건 5개가 한꺼번에 맞았다
슬리피지 버그를 잡고 있던 오후 10시였습니다. 알람킹(AlarmKing) 모니터링 봇에서 알림이 연속으로 울렸어요. 확인해보니 5개가 동시에 들어와 있었습니다. 개발 중에 테스트용으로 설정해둔 조건들이 한꺼번에 충족된 거였는데, 처음엔 버그인 줄 알았어요. 무슨 일이 있었나 알림 내용을 보니 버그가 아니었습니다. 유가가 단기 저항선을 돌파하면서 에너지 관련 조건이 충족됐고, 동시에 원달러 환율이 빠르게 치솟으면서 환율 조건도 충족됐어요. 두 조건이 ... <a title="버그인 줄 알았는데 조건 5개가 한꺼번에 맞았다" class="read-more" href="https://novacraftx.com/%ec%9c%a0%ea%b0%80-%ea%b8%89%eb%93%b1%ec%97%90-%ed%99%98%ec%9c%a8-%ea%b8%88%ec%9c%b5%ec%9c%84%ea%b8%b0%ea%b8%89-%eb%aa%a8%eb%8b%88%ed%84%b0%eb%a7%81-%eb%b4%87%ec%9d%b4-%ec%83%88%eb%b2%bd%ec%97%90/" aria-label="Read more about 버그인 줄 알았는데 조건 5개가 한꺼번에 맞았다">Read more</a>

알림 지연 2초, 로그를 따라가다 예외처리 코드에서 원인을 찾았다
알람킹(AlarmKing)에서 알림 지연 버그 하나를 잡기로 했습니다. 증상은 간단했어요. 특정 조건에서 알림이 2~3초 늦게 도착했습니다. 실시간 트레이딩 앱에서 2초는 사용자가 바로 느끼는 수준이에요. 밤 11시에 로그를 열었고, 자리에서 일어난 건 밤 12시가 넘어서였습니다. 왜 넘길 수 없었나 알람킹은 코인 시세 알람이나 주식 가격 알람처럼, 조건이 맞는 순간을 사용자 대신 지켜보다가 알람을 보내주는 트레이딩 앱입니다. 사용자는 ... <a title="알림 지연 2초, 로그를 따라가다 예외처리 코드에서 원인을 찾았다" class="read-more" href="https://novacraftx.com/%ec%83%88%eb%b2%bd-3%ec%8b%9c-%eb%b2%84%ea%b7%b8-%ec%9e%a1%eb%8b%a4%ea%b0%80-%eb%b0%9c%ea%b2%ac%ed%95%9c-%ea%b2%83-%ec%95%8c%eb%9e%8c%ed%82%b9-%ea%b0%9c%eb%b0%9c%ec%9d%bc%ec%a7%80/" aria-label="Read more about 알림 지연 2초, 로그를 따라가다 예외처리 코드에서 원인을 찾았다">Read more</a>
