Marketplace/Services

The Marketplace has been placed into maintenance mode. It is no longer under active development. You can read complete details here.

This document is currently a draft.

This page covers the use of smaller services in the Marketplace cluster. This page is a list of the things that service must do in order to be considered to be run in the Marketplace Services cluster as a service.

Requirements

• Tools
  • Python (Cornice, Django, Flask, just plain Python)
  • MySQL
  • Memcache etc.
  • Celery or Queuey or something for async

• Development
  • On github.
  • It will either:
    • Be serving HTML to end users.
    • Be serving JSON as REST based service. Ideally we can decide on a similar layout for REST services.

• Install and update
  • Needs an update script (should this just be done through commander, basic command script)
  • Python dependencies managed through pip.
  • Non-python dependencies managed through RPMs.
  • Contains forward database migrations, if needed.

• Monitoring
  • Use metlog for logging.
    • Insert timings into your code.
    • CEF log the sensitive bits.
  • Reserve the URL /services for Nagios and other checks.
