Analytic Proxy

The analyticproxy binary manages file staging and unstaging for analytics. The primary purposes of the proxy are to

• Keep the protocol simple for analytic developers,
• Keep file-fetching auth tokens private (in the proxy, not in the analytic),
• While allowing things like pulling from / pushing to S3 APIs.

Overview

Command analyticproxy starts a gRPC proxy for analytics that intercepts requests, pulls files from S3 or similar into a file system visible to the analytic, then forwards on the request. When a response occurs, data is pulled from that file system and sent where it belongs, and files are cleaned up.
