Your service:
go.skia.org/infra
Git repo.*.skia.org
domain.JSFiddle is a recent service that was launched that demonstrates the above. See go/ for the server code and modules/ and pages/ for the front end.
Use go.skia.org/infra/go/sklog
for logging.
Add flags to your main package like:
port = flag.String("port", ":8002", "HTTP service port (e.g., ':8002')") local = flag.Bool("local", false, "Running locally if true. As opposed to in production.") promPort = flag.String("prom_port", ":20000", "Metrics service address (e.g., ':10110')") resourcesDir = flag.String("resources_dir", "./dist", "The directory to find HTML, JS, and CSS files. If blank the current directory will be used.")
Call common.InitWithMust([opt], [opt])
in your main function.
Use go.skia.org/infra/go/login
paired with infra-sk/modules/login.js
(Legacy Polymer apps use res/imp/login.html
) and/or go.skia.org/infra/go/webhook
for authentication. When using OAuth, see the secrets section below for including client secrets.
Wrap your http.Handler
(many services use mux.NewRouter() with go.skia.org/infra/go/httputils.LoggingGzipRequestResponse
to provide monitoring and logging of HTTP requests and responses. Then, wrap it in go.skia.org/infra/go/httputils.HealthzAndHTTPS
to add an unlogged /healthz endpoint for use with GKE health monitoring and various HTTPS configuration. Use go.skia.org/infra/go/httputils.NewTimeoutClient
for HTTP clients, because the default httpClient doesn't have good defaults for timeouts.
Any calls to external APIs should use an http.Client
wrapped with httputils.AddMetricsToClient
. This allows us to track how much load we place on external services.
Write your code with security in mind:
If you add any critical TODOs while you're coding, file a blocking bug for the issue.
It is customary to have the following commands in a Makefile for the service.
build
: Build a development version of the front end.serve
: Run the demo pages of the front end in a “watch” mode. This command is for primary development of front end pages.core
: Build the server components.watch
: Build a development version of the front end in watch mode. This command is for running the server, but also making changes to the front end.release
: Build a Docker container with the front end and backend parts in it (see below).push
: Depends on release, and then pushes to GKE using pushk
.Running apps in Docker makes deployment and local testing much much easier. It additionally allows integration with GKE. Some legacy apps are not yet run in Docker, but it is the goal to have everything on GKE+Docker.
Create a Dockerfile for your app in the root of the project folder (e.g. jsfiddle/Dockerfile
). If there are multiple services, put them in a named folder (e.g. fiddlek/fiddle/Dockerfile
, fiddlek/fiddler/Dockerfile
).
When choosing a base image, consider our light wrappers, found in kube/*
. For example, kube/basealpine/Dockerfile
which can be used by having FROM gcr.io/skia-public/basealpine:3.8
as the first line in a Dockerfile.
We have a helper script for ‘installing’ an app into a Docker container, bash/docker_build.sh
. A call to this script is customarily put in a bash script which is called by make release
. See jsfiddle/build_release
for an example. To integrate docker_build.sh into the actual container, add a COPY . /
to copy the executable(s) and HTML/JS/CSS from the build context into the container. Legacy apps have a similar set-up, but for building a Debian package instead of a container.
It is customary to include an ENTRYPOINT and CMD with sensible defaults for the app. It's also a best practice to run the app as USER skia unless root is absolutely needed.
Putting all the above together, a bare-bones Dockerfile would look something like:
FROM gcr.io/skia-public/basealpine:3.8 COPY . / USER skia ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/my_app_name"] CMD ["--logtostderr", "--port=:8000", "--resources_dir=/usr/local/share/my_app_name/"]
If your app needs access to a GCS bucket or other similar things, it is recommended you create a new service account for your app. See below for linking it into the container.
Use an existing create-sa.sh
script (e.g. create-jsfiddle-sa.sh
) and tweak the name, committing it into the app's root directory. Run this once to create the service account and create the secrets in GKE.
DESIGN.md
typically has high level design structures (e.g. where is data stored, how do the pieces of software interact, etc). PROD.md
has an overview of the alerts and any other notes for maintaining the service.pushk appname
to make the configuration active.annotations: prometheus.io.scrape: "true" prometheus.io.port: "20000"
prometheus/sys/prometheus.yml
.app=<foo>
where foo
is the first argument to common.InitWithMust

Update skia-ingress.yaml with an entry for your app. Note that this is in the skia-public-config
repo. Commit this, then run kubectl apply -f skia-ingress.yaml
to apply the new config.
Add configuration for your service's domain name to skfe/sys/skia_org_nginx
.
skfe
release, and push skfe-config
to skfe-1
and -2
. Your service is now live on the Internet.Run ./kube/set-backend-timeouts.sh
to fix the default HTTP timeout length.
Add prober rules to probers.json
in your application directory.
prober/go/prober/main.go
to check the response body if desired.Add additional stats gathering to your program using go.skia.org/infra/go/metrics2
, e.g. to ensure liveness/heartbeat of any background processes.
Add alert rules to alerts_public. The alerts may link to a production manual, PROD.md
, checked into the application source directory. Examples:
prometheus/sys/alert.rules
Some general metrics apply to all apps and may not need to be added explicitly for your application, such as:
Tell people about your new service.
Be prepared for bug reports. :-)
Some apps are set up to be continuously re-built and re-deployed on every commit of Skia or Skia Infra. To do that, see kube/README.md.
