API Server

A high-powered API server that exposes the Cassandra data in a controlled manner.

Installation with Docker

Clone the Retrospect docker repo

cd into the directory and run docker-compose up

Manual Installation

First, install the dependencies:

• Make sure Go is installed
• Clone this repo and cd into it
• Rename config.yml.example to config.yml and configure it
• Build the app with go build
• Run it with ./cassandra-connector

Note that the Cassandra instance must be preconfigured. This app does not initialize it, but the schema is available in data.cql

Usage

Send HTTP/S traffic (GET, POST, ...) to the server, using the port specified in the config file.

See the documentation here

Testing

Install the dependencies:

apt update
apt install python3

pip3 install pytest pyyaml requests

Run the tests from the root folder with ./tests.sh
