Micro Repo

DISCLAIMER

Read this before anything else:

This repository holds a toy project that is not intended to be used and you can NOT expect that it will work for real one day. It's basically a research project to test new ideas. ~~It currently doesn't even compile~~

What is this? Why did I commit that?

First of all, most of the code in this repo is copy/pasted from the Nuxeo repository. You can think of it as a fork.

After playing with serverless technologies, I was wondering if we could start a Nuxeo Repository in an AWS Lambda... To do that I thought (and was perhaps wrong) that removing the Nuxeo Runtime layer could help in starting faster, and avoid the time to load the various needed extensions.

So I started by removing the Nuxeo Runtime and tried to replace every call to Framework#getService in order to build a Nuxeo CoreSession.

...

And it appeared that it was possible minus lots of tradeoff that I will describe in my blog. It also emphasized some very cool opportunities and help me identify the dependencies between a lot of components in Nuxeo.

Can I test it?

As of November 2nd 2019, the project features a sample application that exposes documents of type Library. You can run it with docker-compose which will build the project and deploy it alongside a MongoDB instance.

First create a config/application.yaml file by using the provided template and update the OAuth properties (by creating a OAuth app on Github).

Then simply launch docker-compose up and once started, access http://localhost:8080/graphiql/.

Here are some sample requests that you can do:

query all {
  allLibraries {
    id
    path
    creator
    city
    country
  }
}


mutation Library {
  newLibrary(name: "UCLA library", city: "Los Angeles", country: "USA") {
    id
  }
}

mutation deleteLibrary {
  deleteLibrary(id:"35cb3d0b-0160-4e8f-a8aa-258700c1826c") {
    id
  }
}

To hack the domain model, you can have a look at the micro-library module which is basically a Vert.X application
