apigateway

A performant API Gateway based on Openresty and NGINX.

Project status

This project is currently considered pre-alpha stage, and should not be used in production. Large swaths of code or APIs may change without notice.

Table of Contents

Quick Start

docker run -p 80:80 -p <managedurl_port>:8080 -p 9000:9000 \
            -e PUBLIC_MANAGEDURL_HOST=<managedurl_host> \
            -e PUBLIC_MANAGEDURL_PORT=<managedurl_port> \
            -e REDIS_HOST=<redis_host> \
            -e REDIS_PORT=<redis_port> \
            -e REDIS_PASS=<redis_pass> \
            openwhisk/apigateway:latest

This command starts an API Gateway that subscribes to the Redis instance with the specified host and port. The REDIS_PASS variable is optional and is required only when redis needs authentication.

On startup, the API Gateway looks for pre-existing resources in redis, whose keys are defined as resources:<namespace>:<resource>, and creates nginx conf files associated with those resources. Then, it listens for any resource key changes in redis and updates nginx conf files appropriately. These conf files are stored in the running docker container at /etc/api-gateway/managed_confs/<namespace>/<resource>.conf.

Routes

See here for the management interface for creating tenants/APIs. For detailed API policy definitions, see here.

Developer Guide

Running locally

To build the docker image locally use:

 make docker

To Run the Docker image

 make docker-run PUBLIC_MANAGEDURL_HOST=<mangedurl_host> PUBLIC_MANAGEDURL_PORT=<managedurl_port> \
   REDIS_HOST=<redis_host> REDIS_PORT=<redis_port> REDIS_PASS=<redis_pass>

The main API Gateway process is exposed to port 80. To test that the Gateway works see its health-check:

 $ curl http://<docker_host_ip>/health-check
   API-Platform is running!

Testing

Unit tests can be found in the api-gateway-config/tests/spec directory.

First install the necessary dependencies:

 make test-build

Then, run the unit tests:

 make test-run

This will output the results of the tests as well as generate a code coverage report.
