Instrumentation API 
An Application Programming Interface (API) to manage instrumentation data, built with Golang and Deployed on AWS Lambda.
How to Develop
Running a Database for Local Development
-
Install Docker and Docker Compose
-
Change to the /database directory in this repository and type
docker-compose up
. This brings up two services onlocalhost
-
A postgres database with postgis schema installed using the Docker image mdillon/postgis
-
pgadmin4 (a user interface to interact with the database) using the Docker image dpage/pgadmin4
To modify the database using pgadmin4, open a web browser and go to
localhost:8080
.Login with
Email:postgres@postgres.com
andPassword:postgres
respectively.Create a database connection to the postgres database by right-clicking
servers --> create --> server
in the left menu tree. Enter the following information and clicksave
.General Tab
Field Value Name localhost (or other preferred name) Connection Tab
Field Value Host name/address postgres Port 5432 (default) Username postgres Password postgres -
-
Initialize the database and seed it with some data
Use the Query Tool in pgadmin4 and the .sql files in the database/ directory in this repository. You can find the query tool by expanding the left menu tree to
Servers --> Databases --> postgres
. Right clickpostgres --> Query Tool
. From here, copy tables.sql into the Query Tool and run it by pressingf5
. Note: to only run a portion of the SQL you've copied, you can highlight the section you want to run before hittingf5
.
Running the GO API for Local Development
Either of these options starts the API at localhost:3030
. The API uses JSON Web tokens (JWT) for authorization by default. To disable JWT for testing or development, you can set the environment variable JWT_DISABLED=TRUE
.
With Visual Studio Code Debugger
You can use the launch.json file in this repository in lieu of go run root/main.go
to run the API in the VSCode debugger. This takes care of the required environment variables to connect to the database.
Without Visual Studio Code Debugger
Set the following environment variables and type go run root/main.go
from the top level of this repository.
* DB_USER=postgres
* DB_PASS=postgres
* DB_NAME=postgres
* DB_HOST=localhost
* DB_SSLMODE=disable
* LAMBDA=FALSE
* JWT_DISABLED=FALSE
Note: When running the API locally, make sure environment variable LAMBDA
is either not set or is set to LAMBDA=FALSE
.
Running API Docs Locally
From the top level of this repository, type make docs
. This starts a container that serves content based on "apidoc.yml" in this repository.
Open a browser and navigate to https://localhost:4000
to view the content.
How To Deploy
Postgres Database on AWS Relational Database Service (RDS)
Database should be initialized with the following SQL files in the order listed:
-
rds_init.sql (install PostGIS extensions)
-
tables.sql (create tables for application)
-
roles.sql (database roles, grants, etc.)
Note: Change 'password' in roles.sql to a real password for the
instrumentation_user
account.
