# Keyard #

This project is a implementation of a Service Registry to work with the service discovery system.


# Getting started #

Aswe are not on pypi you need to clone this repo to use it

```
git clone git@github.com:rzanluchi/keyard.git
cd keyard
pip install .
```

Probably you want to use a virtualenv

# Configuring #

Keyard uses a json file configuration where you can set and etcd connection or use a in memory store

```
{
    "store_type": "etcd",
    "etcd": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "base_path": "/services"
    }
}
```
store_type can be 'etcd' or 'simple'

And to load the config create a python file like this bellow

```
from keyard import app
from keyard.helpers import config

config.load_file('example/config.json')
app = app.create_app()
``` 

the create_app prepares all keyard resources and routes


# Running #

You will need some WSGI server like gunicorn

```
gunicorn your_file:app -b 0.0.0.0:8000

```

# How to use it? #

Now you have a service running at port 8000 and you have a resource on <host>:8000/keyard where you can perform all the valid operations

## GET ##
A get will return the list of the services available based on the query string parameters 
* service_name -> name of the service you want (required)
* version -> version of the service you want (not required)
* load_balancer_strategy -> defines the load balancer strategy on server (not required)(only have 'random' for now)

Not using version will return all matches for the service_name for all version.
Not using load_balancer_strategy will return a list of all location available, using random the server chooses one and return it

## POST ##
A post will register a service on keyard. In the data you need service_name, version and a location. Version is not required and when not passe keyard assumes 1.0

## PUT ##
This method is intended for health_check calls. Health check calls are made to inform keyard that a location is still up. 

It uses the same data as post.

## DELETE ##
A delete will remove a location from keyard. Uses the same data as post


# Example #

There is a example app for you to check. Start an etcd application localhost and
```
gunicorn example.keyard_app:app -b 0.0.0.0:8000
gunicorn example.app2:app -b 0.0.0.0:8002
gunicorn example.app1:app -b 0.0.0.0:8001

curl 0.0.0.0:8001/app1
```

That curl should return you "Hello World"
