GoodData Specific Provisioner

Overview

This project implements a Specific Provisioner for GoodData, using Python & FastAPI.

What's a Specific Provisioner?

A Specific Provisioner is a microservice which is in charge of deploying components that use a specific technology. When the deployment of a Data Product is triggered, the platform generates it descriptor and orchestrates the deployment of every component contained in the Data Product. For every such component the platform knows which Specific Provisioner is responsible for its deployment, and can thus send a provisioning request with the descriptor to it so that the Specific Provisioner can perform whatever operation is required to fulfill this request and report back the outcome to the platform.

You can learn more about how the Specific Provisioners fit in the broader picture here.

What's GoodData?

GoodData is an AI-fueled data analytics platform for creating customized data products with advanced interactive analytics capabilities.

Software stack

This microservice is written in Python 3.11, using FastAPI for the HTTP layer. Project is built with Poetry and supports packaging as Wheel and Docker image, ideal for Kubernetes deployments (which is the preferred option).

Building

Requirements:

  • Python 3.11
  • Poetry

Installing:

To set up a Python environment we use Poetry:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

Once Poetry is installed and in your $PATH, you can execute the following:

poetry --version

If you see something like Poetry (version x.x.x), your install is ready to use!

Install the dependencies defined in gooddata-sp/pyproject.toml:

cd gooddata-sp
poetry install

Note: All the following commands are to be run in the Poetry project directory with the virtualenv enabled.

Type check: is handled by mypy:

poetry run mypy gooddata_sp/

Tests: are handled by pytest:

poetry run pytest --cov=gooddata_sp/ tests/. --cov-report=xml

Artifacts & Docker image: the project leverages Poetry for packaging. Build package with:

poetry build

The Docker image can be built with:

docker build .

More details can be found here.

Note: the version for the project is automatically computed using information gathered from Git, using branch name and tags. Unless you are on a release branch 1.2.x or a tag v1.2.3 it will end up being 0.0.0. You can follow this branch/tag convention or update the version computation to match your preferred strategy.

CI/CD: the pipeline is based on GitLab CI as that's what we use internally. It's configured by the .gitlab-ci.yaml file in the root of the repository. You can use that as a starting point for your customizations.

Configuration

All configurations are picked up from environment variables. The following table describes the available configurations and whether they are required or optional.

Environment variable Required Example Description
GOODDATA_HOST Yes "https://www.example.com" GoodData instance URL
GOODDATA_TOKEN Yes "some_user_token" Token for API calls to GoodData

Running

To run the server locally, use:

cd gooddata_sp
source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate # only needed if venv is not already enabled
uvicorn gooddata_sp.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8091

By default, the server binds to port 8091 on localhost. After it's up and running you can make provisioning requests to this address. You can also check the API documentation served here.

Deploying

This microservice is meant to be deployed to a Kubernetes cluster with the included Helm chart and the scripts that can be found in the helm subdirectory. You can find more details here.
