Nomad-as a Service

Requirements

• Nomad agent available https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/install
• Golang 1.22+ recommended (tested on 1.22) https://go.dev/doc/install
• Docker (optional, to use Nomad dockerized)

Get Started

Start Nomad service

make start_nomad

For the sake of simplicity and portability, nomad has been dockerized and configuration added to a compose file.

make start_nomad_compose

Once nomad agent has been started, the nomad UI can be accessed via http://localhost:4646

Start NoaaS API local

make dev

Start Unit

make unit

Start E2E

1. Start Nomad in a container

make start_nomad_compose

2. Execute API tests

make ci

Measure Code coverage

make coverage

Notes

• busybox has been used instead of nginx, as it's simpler to configure, can receive dynamic port through command line, doesn't require a custom configuration file, then I've been able to focus on code quality over nginx configuration.
• Remote code execution is dangerous, I've skipped the sanity checks, but that's something required in a secured context.
• Created a custom action to test my services with a Nomad cluster in GitHub actions
• Replaced script query parameter type from boolean to string for parsing conveniency by routing validation
