Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Simple deployment tool for monorepo

Readme

kuda

Simple deployment tool for monorepo

Commands

init

This is run at the root of the repository to initialize kuda. You will be asked to select a service (folder) you wish to have managed under kuda.

kuda init

add

Once a repository is initialized, a kuda.json will be generated in the root of the repository. You can continue adding services using the add command or alternatively, update kuda.json or package.json to reflect the changes you want.

kuda add

run

This command will attempt to run all the tasks for each service defined in kuda.json. Once all tasks have completed successfully, the remoteState is updated.

The localVersion (derived from package.json) and the remoteVersion are compared before deployment. If the remoteVersion is up to date, no action will be taken.

Thus, in order to trigger tasks to run, the user is required to increment the version inside <service>/package.json

KUDA_ENV=staging kuda run

You can now target a specific service using

KUDA_ENV=staging kuda run -s foo

Typical folder structure

monorepo
├── foo
│   └── package.json
├── bar
│   └── package.json
├── unmanagedFolder1
├── unmanagedFolder2
├── kuda.json

kuda.json

  services: [
    {
      name: 'foo'
    },
    {
      name: 'bar'
    }
  ],
  remoteState: s3://monorepo/{KUDA_ENV}/kudastate

This will run task(s) for foo and then task(s) for bar.

foo/package.json

name: 'foo'
version: 0.0.1,
kuda: {
  tasks: [
    {
      name: 'foo',
      command: 'echo {SOME_ENV}'
    },
    {
      name: 'bar',
      command: 'cat file.json stuff.json'
    }
  ]
}

remoteState

services: {
  foo: {
    deployedVersion: '0.0.0'
  },
  bar: {
    deployedVersion: null
  }
}

TODO

~~child process maxBuffer issue. might need to stream~~-- Increased buffer to fix

  • Add some tests...

  • currently change detection is based on package.json,

can swap out for other means like using git commits (compare with s3 stored remote), git tags, timestamps

  • allow service and version name to be accessible in tasks (attach to process.env after reading values)

(ie <SERVICE_NAME> <SERVICE_VERSION>)

  • allow users to control deployment flow by creating dependency tree

  • allow different types of task (or not) (ie. tasks that are run regardless of whether there has been change)
