While designing your service it is useful to read designing services
This project has a bare-bones skeleton service ready to go, but in order to adapt and extend it, it may be useful to read up on developing services and in particular the Java section
You can use Maven to build your project, which will also take care of
generating code based on the .proto definitions:
mvn compileWhen running a Kalix service locally, we need to have its companion Kalix Runtime running alongside it.
To start your service locally, run:
mvn kalix:runAllYou will see a log like this:
09:49:46.484 INFO com.example.ExampleActionImpl - Example action initializing...This means the init method on the Action was actually run.
To deploy your service, install the kalix CLI as documented in
Setting up a local development environment
and configure a Docker Registry to upload your docker image to.
You will need to update the dockerImage property in the pom.xml and refer to
Configuring registries
for more information on how to make your docker image available to Kalix.
Finally, you use the kalix CLI to create a project as described in Create a new Project. Once you have a project you can deploy your service into the project either
by using mvn deploy kalix:deploy which will package, publish your docker image, and deploy your service to Kalix,
or by first packaging and publishing the docker image through mvn deploy and
then deploying the image through the kalix CLI.
