README

PLEASE CONSIDER USING ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF CREATING YOUR KEPTN INTEGRATION.

There are more ways to integrate with your service that don't require creating a service from this template, see https://keptn.sh/docs/0.17.x/integrations/how_integrate/ for more details.

Examples:

In addition, creating your own integration based on the service-template has been reduced to just using Keptn's go-utils and is based on the example provided in go-utils.


This is a Keptn Service Template written in GoLang. Follow the instructions below for writing your own Keptn integration.

Quick start:

  1. In case you want to contribute your service to keptn-sandbox or keptn-contrib, make sure you have read and understood the Contributing Guidelines.
  2. Click Use this template on top of the repository, or download the repo as a zip-file, extract it into a new folder named after the service you want to create (e.g., simple-service)
  3. Required: Run GitHub workflow One-time repository initialization to tailor deployment files and go modules to the new instance of the keptn service template. This will create a Pull Request containing the necessary changes, review it, adjust if necessary and merge it.
  4. Figure out whether your Kubernetes Deployment requires any RBAC rules or a different service-account, and adapt chart/templates/serviceaccount.yaml accordingly for the roles.
  5. Last but not least: Remove this intro within the README file and make sure the README file properly states what this repository is about

keptn-service-template-go

GitHub release (latest by date) Go Report Card

This implements a keptn-service-template-go for Keptn. If you want to learn more about Keptn visit us on keptn.sh

Compatibility Matrix

Please fill in your versions accordingly

Keptn Version* Keptn-service-template-go version
0.13.x 0.13.0
0.14.x 0.14.0
0.17.x 0.17.0

* This is the Keptn version we aim to be compatible with. Other versions should work too, but there is no guarantee.

Note: Versions compatible with Keptn 0.14.x and newer are not backward compatible due to a change in NATS cluster name (see https://github.com/keptn/keptn/releases/tag/0.14.1 for more info about the breaking change).

Installation

The keptn-service-template-go can be installed as a part of Keptn's uniform.

Deploy in your Kubernetes cluster

To deploy the current version of the keptn-service-template-go in your Keptn Kubernetes cluster use the helm chart file, for example:

helm install -n keptn keptn-service-template-go chart/

This should install the keptn-service-template-go into the keptn namespace, which you can verify using

kubectl -n keptn get deployment keptn-service-template-go -o wide
kubectl -n keptn get pods -l run=keptn-service-template-go

Up- or Downgrading

Adapt and use the following command in case you want to up- or downgrade your installed version (specified by the $VERSION placeholder):

helm upgrade -n keptn --set image.tag=$VERSION keptn-service-template-go chart/

Uninstall

To delete a deployed keptn-service-template-go, use the file deploy/*.yaml files from this repository and delete the Kubernetes resources:

helm uninstall -n keptn keptn-service-template-go

Development

Development can be conducted using any GoLang compatible IDE/editor (e.g., Jetbrains GoLand, VSCode with Go plugins).

It is recommended to make use of branches as follows:

  • main/master contains the latest potentially unstable version
  • releases are handled via git tags (and GitHub releases)
  • create a new branch for any changes that you are working on, e.g., feature/my-cool-stuff or bug/overflow
  • once ready, create a pull request from your branch back to the main/master branch

When writing code, it is recommended to follow the coding style suggested by the Golang community.

Where to start

Please read the documentation provided by Keptn/go-utils, as it explains how to integrate with Keptn.

To better understand all variants of Keptn CloudEvents, please look at the Keptn Spec.

If you want to look at handler implementations, you can take a look at the go-utils based example, as well as the concrete implementations within the handler/ folder, e.g.:

Common tasks

  • Build the binary: go build -ldflags '-linkmode=external' -v -o keptn-service-template-go
  • Run tests: go test -race -v ./...
  • Build the docker image: docker build . -t keptn-sandbox/keptn-service-template-go:dev (Note: Ensure that you use the correct DockerHub account/organization)
  • Run the docker image locally: docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 keptn-sandbox/keptn-service-template-go:dev
  • Push the docker image to DockerHub: docker push keptn-sandbox/keptn-service-template-go:dev (Note: Ensure that you use the correct DockerHub account/organization)
  • Get logs using kubectl: kubectl -n keptn logs deployment/keptn-service-template-go -f
  • Watch the deployed pods using kubectl: kubectl -n keptn get pods -l run=keptn-service-template-go
  • Deploy the service using Skaffold: skaffold run --default-repo=your-docker-registry --tail (Note: Replace your-docker-registry with your container image registry (defaults to ghcr.io/keptn-sandbox/keptn-service-template-go); also make sure to adapt the image name in skaffold.yaml)

Testing Cloud Events

We have dummy cloud-events in the form of RFC 2616 requests in the test-events/ directory. These can be easily executed using third party plugins such as the Huachao Mao REST Client in VS Code.
