# metrics-service
|
|
|
|
> A service which produces random streams of data (firehose) of interpretable metric information for various subsystems that can or will be pulled out from a container. These are currently defined in [RFD-0037](https://github.com/joyent/rfd/blob/master/rfd/0037/README.md#default-metric-keys).
|
|
|
|
This spike's purpose was to find the best pattern to expose such metrics service with mock data.
|
|
|
|
## http1
|
|
|
|
+ very simple API to push data from the server to the client
|
|
+ plain HTTP
|
|
- requires a connection to each container - because it's not bidirectional, we can't subscribe to more containers on-demand
|
|
|
|
## http2
|
|
|
|
+ very simple API to push data from the server to the client
|
|
+ multiplexing
|
|
- push doesn't really help us, because it's only useful for static resources
|
|
|
|
## graphql
|
|
|
|
+ common interface between all data resources
|
|
+ filter received data
|
|
- api not finalised yet
|
|
- api not documented
|
|
|
|
## ws (with [nes](https://github.com/hapijs/nes))
|
|
|
|
+ strong integration with [Hapi](https://github.com/hapijs/hapi)
|
|
+ allow to subscribe and unsubscribe on-demand on a single connection
|
|
- some networks might require fallback to pooling
