+if lock.acquire(blocking=False): + # This is the primary worker + start_schedulers() +``` + +**Pros**: Works across containers +**Cons**: Requires Redis dependency + +### Environment Variable (Not Recommended) + +```bash +# Manually set primary worker +ALPINEBITS_PRIMARY_WORKER=true uvicorn app:app +``` + +**Pros**: Simple +**Cons**: Manual configuration, no automatic failover + +## Best Practices + +1. ✅ **Use file locks for single-host deployments** (our implementation) +2. ✅ **Use Redis locks for multi-container deployments** +3. ✅ **Log primary/secondary status at startup** +4. ✅ **Always release locks on shutdown** +5. ✅ **Keep lock files in `/var/run/` or `/tmp/`** +6. ❌ **Don't rely on process names** (unreliable with uvicorn) +7. ❌ **Don't use environment variables** (no automatic failover) +8. ❌ **Don't skip coordination** (will cause duplicate notifications) + +## Summary + +With file-based worker coordination: + +- ✅ Only ONE worker runs singleton services (schedulers, migrations) +- ✅ All workers handle HTTP requests normally +- ✅ Automatic failover if primary worker crashes +- ✅ No external dependencies needed +- ✅ Works with uvicorn, gunicorn, and other ASGI servers + +This ensures you get the benefits of multiple workers (concurrency) without duplicate email notifications or race conditions. diff --git a/docs/architecture_diagram.txt
