Platform tools is a collection of command line utilities that Automate
services can use in their run-scripts for common tasks:
pg-helper: A tool that exposes common postgresql bootstrapping
operations (creating users, creating databases, etc). This tool can
be used in init and run scripts for services that need
postgresql databases set up.
service-health: A tool to make a health check GRPC call to a given
service and return an exit code compatible with Habitat's
health_check hook.
secrets-helper: A tool for managing on-disk shared-data. This is to
support legacy applications. It is called secrets-helper because it
provides data using the same API that is expected by the Erlang
chef_secrets library. It does NOT handle secrets securely and is
simply intended for giving processes that expect data via the
chef_secrets interface access to on-disk data. New services should
instead use the secrets-service for managing user-provided secrets.
