Requirements

Install gcloud tool
Install app engine SDK

Running Locally

goapp serve -host 0.0.0.0 -port 8080 -admin_port 8000 app/app-staging.yaml

Deploy to AppEngine

gcloud auth login

Deploy to AppEngine

goapp deploy -application staging-api-getunseen app/app-<environment>.yaml

Query the Datastore you have to use the namespace 'hobo' Click here:

http://localhost:8000/datastore?kind=Account&namespace=hobo

Snap CI

Snap CI pipeline uses the scripts under bin to configure go environment and automatically performs the following steps:

Build the project resolving dependencies with goapp get ... and run any tests in the project.
Deploys the app to Staging environment in AppEngine using the tool appcfg.py in the appengine SDK.

There is a manual step to deploy the build resulted from the previous steps in to production environment in AppEngine.

AppEngine Modules and Namespaces

AppEngine allows developers to build multitenancy applications by applying namespaces to their data.

Some of the APIs supporting Namespaces are: Datastore, memcache, taskqueue.

Exemple of Namespace usage with Datastore:

gae := appengine.NewContext(c.Request)
gaeNamespace := appengine.ModuleName(gae)
namespacedContext, _ := appengine.Namespace(gae, gaeNamespace)

apiInfo := struct { Endpoint, Namespace, Version string }{
Endpoint: "/v1/hobo",
          Namespace: gaeNamespace,
}

key := datastore.NewKey(namespacedContext, "ApiInfo", "ApiInfo", 0, nil)
datastore.Put(namespacedContext, key, &apiInfo)

Future work

Need to introduce a Smoke Tests step in the pipeline after each deploy to each environment.
