This is a CLI application that demonstrates provisioning services on the
StackPath platform then logs various aspects of that app to STDOUT. It creates
CDN and WAF services in front of a container-based Edge Compute workload origin
along with a DNS CNAME to access the project, a free and auto-renewing SSL
certificate, and two sample WAF rules.
The Edge Compute origin has instances in Frankfurt DE, Amsterdam NL, and Dallas TX USA. Every instance has 1 allocated CPU core and 2 GiB of memory. They auto-scale up to two instances in each city if the CPU load goes over 50% in that city. It has an anycast IP address to use as a single entrypoint in front of the CDN.
Many combinations of applications and services can run on the StackPath
platform, but for demonstration these containers run the
httpbin diagnostic application with access logging to
STDOUT in the container, so we can monitor access logs for all running
containers from the demo.
In addition to the firewall's standard protection the demo makes a WAF rule that
blocks access to the path /blockme and a rule that allows all requests to
/anything regardless of other rules.
Once everything is started up the demo app dumps new WAF activity, all container
logs, and container state changes to STDOUT.
This demo communicates with StackPath through the StackPath REST API. Check out the stackpath for simple API client and repository implementations.
Note: This code is intended for demonstration purposes only. It shows off the capabilities of the StackPath API, but prioritizes happy paths and readability over golang's best practices. Please use this as a reference, but do not base your integration or custom application from this project.
Note: This demo adds live services to your StackPath account but does not remove them. These services will incur charges that you will be invoiced for. Please tear down services after running this demo to avoid large charges.
In order to run this demo you need at least:
- Go. This demo was written in version 1.16, but versions >= 1.13 may also work.
- A StackPath account. Register a new account at the StackPath portal to get started!
- A StackPath API client ID and secret pair
- A stack to store demo services on
- A DNS zone provisioned on the stack
Check out this repository then run go mod download from the project's root
directory to install the demo's dependencies.
Edit the constants defined near the top of main.go with your API
client ID, API client secret, the ID or slug of your stack, your project
domain's FQDN, and the name of the DNS sub-domain you'd the demo to configure.
Run go run main.go from the project's root directory to start the demo.
