Express-TypeScript written easy to use backend server to manage the k8s pods and query them

More on this in a bit.

[0x0elliot]

the typescript server in the middle is what i am going for:

[0x0elliot]

the server in the middle would be the exposed service to the internet out of the rest of the Kubernetes cluster. it should keep a track of the Kubernetes pods running. might need a database and would probably end up being a full-fledged exposed service. i can't do this one alone, might need some help on this part.

[0x0elliot]

basically, this service needs to be good enough to other than acting as a proxy between the geth graphql instances and then checking if the token provided for them is right or not (this service thus needs to have a database of its own)

other than that, this service will have a set token set by the user for each user that logs into the main server. maybe store that in a redis instance instead.

also, this service should have API endpoints to query:

• namespaces
• pods in that namespace
• containers in that namespace etc. open to letting it be just a smart proxy that checks for a token every request between the internet and the k8s API with only certain API endpoints whitelisted.

okay, wait a couple of days before taking up this issue. i might move the whole infra to k8s itself. the docker swarm deployment would be totally different.

[0x0elliot]

okay, this will be done by the celery server. closing this issue as it's overkill.
