Quick Start

If you want to contribute to the project, we've made things easy for you to get everything up and running using devcontainers.

Dependencies

To run the devcontainer, there's a couple things you need to install first on your machine.

• Visual Studio Code
• Remote Development
• Docker

A full devcontainer setup guide can be found here.

Running

With everything installed and running, you can continue.

1. Open this project in a new instance of Visual Studio Code.
2. You may be prompted to Reopen in Container. Click on it.
   • If you do not see the prompt, bring up your command palette (View -> Command Palette...) and type Remote Containers: Open Folder in Container...
3. Wait for Visual Studio Code to reopen and build your container.
4. Once your container has finished building, you can now start developing!
5. Open a new terminal in Visual Studio Code (Terminal -> New Terminal).
6. Type go run main.go.

Samples

You can find sample constellation files in the following location:

/examples/constellation/

Using these files you can test the app binary.

Running the local Helm Microservice Sample

This sample uses the Http Microservice test constellation file located in sample/constellation/http_constellation.yaml.

The sample will install three services with relationships between them:

• A sender
• Another sender
• A receiver

The concept is that you send a message down the chain.

• The first sender takes a message via http, adds value to the message and forwards it to the second sender.
• The second sender repeats this, also adding a unique value before sending on to the receiver.
• The receiver echos back the message
• Each of the sender returns the message back down the chain before the final message pops out the original http request.

Running the sample

Run:

make run-http-demo

This will deploy the demo to the cluster. The templates are output to output/http_sample/Output.

You can test it by:

kubectl wait pod -n default --for condition=ready --timeout=120s --all && kubectl exec -it sender-sender bash
curl sender:8080/api/CallReceiver?message=yourmessage

You should see the response "yourmessage--Chain-sender--Chain-sender1" which proves the message traversed the chain!

Remove the install

You can remove the installed pods and services by calling make http-demo-delete

Debugging Templates

You can debug the templates by outputting them by running make http-demo-template-all
