Code used during my Chaos Engineering and Resiliency Patterns talk.

Eleanor-Project

Eleanor-Project is a set of project used to run and demo Eleanor

Folders:

/eleanor contains the Python Application

/nginx contains the load balancer configuration

/chaos contains an example chaos experiment using ChaosToolkit

/mysql-replica is a fork of https://github.com/twang2218/mysql-replica (You have to create it yourself!)

Prerequisites:

To use and run Eleanor, you need to have docker installed locally. The application is built using docker-compose.

You also need a python virtual environment in which you have installed all the /eleanor_project/elanor/requirements.txt

For python virtual environments, I use pyenv

> pyenv virtualenv eleanor
(eleanor) > pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the application, open a terminal in you local machine (Mac, Linux or Windows) and run docker-compose up this will built and run a set of docker containers found in /elanor_project/docker-compose.yml.

> cd eleanor_project
> docker-compose up 

Once the application is built and runs (this may take a while when you do it for the first time), you need to initialise the database. To do that, open another terminal and run:

> docker-compose run eleanor-api python3 create_db.py
