full360/refresh repository overview

⁠Refresh

Simple application to reload the configuration of an application through the "reload" endpoint.

This application will download the updated configuration files from a storage (s3) into an specified directory and then do an HTTP request to the app-url using the provided method. This application is meant to be used as a side-car to the Prometheus Server.

⁠Running

To run the application use the following command:

./refresh

There are various arguments that can be passed, use -h display

Current endpoints:

• /health will allow for application health checks
• /app/refresh will trigger a download and refresh of the configured app
• /metrics will display Prometheus metrics

⁠Building and Releasing

To build the project we have set a make task that'll only build Darwin and Linux binaries for amd64. Remember to Bump the version inside the Makefile before releasing and that's about it. If we there's a need for a different architecture we can add it.

make release

⁠Tests

Running tests can be performed from the default make command or from the test target

make test

⁠Missing
