We need to enforce the JSON schema is valid for resources on PUT
.
This should happen in the *api.Server
.
Open consideration is; how can we support more than just spec
as the schema validated field?
Build a test harness around the core behaviours of cup
.
Some initial back of napkin behaviours to assess:
Likely will leverage both Dagger and Gitea to make an end to end experience.
Build and publish a cup
image to GHCR.
We currently publish one with Flipt controller built in, but we should do a vanilla Cup instance.
cupd
will exist as the server binary for hosting and running controllers.
It will need some configuration for a number of concerns:
Add support for GitHub as a target SCM.
Supports #2
This issue tracks implementing the Delete
function for the WASM/WASI Controller.
The role of this function is to support invoking the delete target on the underlying wasm binary for the request resource.
The controller needs to:
/
["delete", kind, namespace, name]
func (*Controller) Delete(context.Context, *DeleteRequest) error { /**/ }
The Controller can delete existing resources from the target FS represented by the FSConfig
Currently, we clone source projects into memory.
This is ok, but wont scale well for larger projects.
We should support cloning to temporary or specified directories.
Some care will likely need to be taken for concurrent working directories al the git index.
Ideally, we can create a unique working index per request, but I need to do some more discovery into that (w.r.t go-git
).
The sdk/go
package for implementing controller runtimes will need a revamp for the new design.
I think this would be a useful isolated distributable to have as part of this project.
It should provide straightforward scaffolding for building a runtime implementation in Go.
We should use it to build a flipt.io
implementation for Flags and Segments.
The cup
API should have some mechanism for tracking the state of resource change proposals.
When a Put or Delete action occurs, it results in a proposal to a target Source destination.
For the git
type sources with a backing SCM, this manifests as a Pull or Merge Request.
We should tie the state of these proposals back into the resource API somehow.
For example, we could replicate the concept of the Status
API in Kubernetes land.
Each resource could have a status on it. This status would contain entries for each currently proposed change.
Additionally, we should have an endpoint for all proposed changes. So that there is a central way to discover all open requests.
This is potentially useful for downstream tooling to present.
I suspect that for a first pass, we might be able to rely entirely on the SCM as the source of truth for this state. This would likely be enough to get to an MVP. Something which demonstrates the feature, so we can understand if it actually provides value.
This has the added benefit that it requires no extra dependencies to run cup
. Meaning that, for example, just having a GitHub account and repository is enough to experiment with running it yourself.
Down the line, I suspect that this might come with its own scalability problems.
Each cup
instance will have to do some tricks to stash relevant correlation state in corners of the SCM APIs.
The kinds of questions we might want to ask with this data is:
In order to support e.g. a Status section for resources, we will need to be able to correlate open proposals (PRs, MRs etc) with a particular instance of a resource (kind, namespace and name). You could imagine e.g. an API like that of k8s status APIs:
GET /apis/{ group }/{ version }/namespaces/{ namespace }/{ kind.plural }/{ name }/status
The identifying metadata in this path would need to be correlated with some additional metadata in the proposal.
Some potential locations we can stash this kind of metadata is:
The outcome of this decision also effects the next decision around listing all open proposals.
It will likely become valuable to list all open proposal statuses.
Depending on how we choose to stash state, the complexity of this operation changes.
If it is simply in the PR title, then we can rely solely the SCM list API.
However, if it is nested insider commit metadata or PR descriptions, then subsequent API requests are required to manifest this information.
Current idea: Grafana + Flipt combo with high throughput evaluator.
Demonstrate how evaluation results in the Grafana dashboard are effected as Flag state changes.
Drive change using cup
.
This will be the first demonstration of how cup
works.
We will use it to configure an instance of Flipt with the git
backend type configured.
This runtime implementation will suport two kinds:
It should handle outputting the current Flipt (as of today v1.1 is in the pipeline) configuration format yaml.
Wazero 1.4 will come with a new experimental FS interface.
This will allow for custom implementations to handle writeable filesystem operations.
I think we could leverage these capabilities to avoid having to always have write operations go the filesystem.
Perhaps doing everything in memory this way wont scale for certain operations. However, it may be nice to have the choice.
Supports #2
This issue tracks implementing the Get
function for the WASM/WASI Controller.
The role of this function is to source a single resource instance by namespace and name.
The controller needs to:
/
["get", kind, namespace, name]
cup.Resource
and return itfunc (*Controller) Get(context.Context, *GetRequest) (*cup.Resource, error) { /**/ }
The Controller can get individual resources
Supports #2
This issue tracks implementing the Put
function for the WASM/WASI Controller.
The role of this function is to invoke the put <kind>
over the wasm binary for the provided FS mounted at root.
The controller needs to:
/
["put", kind]
and the desired resource marshalled on STDINfunc (*Controller) Put(context.Context, *PutRequest) error { /**/ }
The Controller can adjust the state of the described target filesystem based on the new state of the request resource.
The README will need a lot of love based on all the new proposed design for cup
.
Here are some thoughts on what needs addressing:
More often than not, controllers will be defined and scoped to a set of supported resource types.
For example, the Flipt controller handles Flipt and Segment resource types only.
It should therefor be possible to bundle both the Controller WASM binary and its support definitions in a single artefact. The most promising format is likely OCI.
With the https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go project we could add support for bundling WASM binaries with their associated resources type directly into cup
and cupd
. cupd
could support sourcing controllers and definitions directly from OCI registries.
Here are some useful links for design ideas around packing:

cup
subcommandsOne of more new subcommand(s) would be useful for packing, publishing and pulling Cup controllers.
We will need to support users being able to:
cupd
controller definitionThe Controller definition will need extending to support referencing a registry and tag.
The controller will need to:
We should update the description of the cli
workspace/cup - [main] » cup --help
NAME:
cup - A new cli application
The API Server will be the HTTP entrypoint to cup
.
Initially, it will handle two core competancies:
This section of the API is for discovery of which definitions have been registered with cup
.
It should be possible to list all the groups, versions and kinds available per target repository.
All resource definitions across all sources:
/apis
All resources definitions for a particular source:
/apis/<repository>
Each repo / resource definition combo will have its own prefix in the form:
/apis/<repository>/<group>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/<plural>
Within this prefix we expose the four initial operations per namespace:
Get a single instance:
GET /apis/<repository>/<group>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/<plural>/<name>
List multiple instances:
GET /apis/<repository>/<group>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/<plural>
Put a single instance:
PUT /apis/<repository>/<group>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/<plural>/<name>
Delete a single instance:
DELETE /apis/<repository>/<group>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/<plural>/<name>
The API server will depend on a number of abstractions on which to perform its job.
The controller will encapsulate away details on how a FilesystemStore chooses to share details on the undelying filesystem.
This will allow the implementations to switch between using fs.FS
, a temporary real directory on disk and potentially the wazero filesystem abstraction in the future (when it becomes available).
The APIServer doesn't really care, it just need to make sure the right controller gets the appropraite configuration from the relevant store when requested.
package controller
type FSConfig struct {
fs fs.FS
dir *string
// sysfs.FS for wazero
}
func WithFS(fs.FS) containers.Option[FSConfig] {}
func WithDir(string) containers.Option[FSConfig] {}
The purpose of this abstraction is to materialize the relevant filesystem for a particular resource controller to operate over.
There are two main methods for this abstraction. One for read operates and one transactional write operation method.
type FSFunc func(controller.FSConfig) error
type FilesystemStore interface {
// View invokes the function provided with configuration for a controller
// which leads to a read-only view when mounted as a filesystem
View(_ context.Context, repository, revision string, fn FSFunc) error
// Update invokes the function provided with configuration for a controller
// which leads to a writeable filesystem being mounted and any changes
// being packaged into either a pull request or an immediate local change (implementation dependent).
Update(_ context.Context, repository, revision string, fn FSFunc) (*Result, error)
}
The ControllerStore abstraction encapsulates the details of sourcing a particular instance
of a Controller by group name.
The Controller abstracts away the details of any particular controller implementation itself from the APIServer.
type Controller interface {
Get(_ context.Context, c *controller.GetRequest) (*cup.Resource, error)
List(_ context.Context, c *controller.ListRequest) ([]*cup.Resource, error)
Put(_ context.Context, c *controller.PutRequest) error
Delete(_ context.Context, c *controller.DeleteRequest) error
}
type ControllerStore interface {
Controller(_ context.Context, group string) (Controller, error)
}
We should probably mention how to contribute, help with Cup development, perhaps adding a CONTRIBUTING.md
file? Here is the one from Flipt: https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt/blob/main/.github/contributing.md
Also perhaps adding a codeowners file to request reviews automatically?
If you run cup edit and open a resource in your editor, then immediately quit, cup still creates an empty PR
Controller will handle building and invoking implementations of controllers and it will live in pkg/controller
.
This issue will acts as a parent issue for implementing each of the operations supported by the Controller.
The controller is reponsible for invoking the configured wasm binary accordingly for each of these operations.
The initial lifecycle of the controller will likely involve:
Each method on a controller will require access to a filesystem of sorts.
Currently, the plans for the shape of this interface is up in the air.
In the near term we can use gitfs
for reads and an actual directory on disk for writes.
In the future we would like the use the (yet to be exported) Wazero abstractions.
So in the near-term, the controller package will abstract this details behind a struct with unexported fields.
Implementations of the FilesystemStore will decide what is appropriate based on either read (view) or write (update) level of requested access.
We will hide this details behind the following types and functions:
package controller
import "io/fs"
type FSConfig struct {
fs fs.FS
dir *string
}
func NewFSConfig(fs fs.FS) FSConfig { return FSConfig {fs: fs} }
func NewDirFSConfig(dir string) FSConfig { return FSConfig {dir: &dir} }
This will allow us to make adjustments over time without effecting the API server implementation.
Each Controller request structure will require a FSConfig
as an argument.
We have added support for each of the four core controller operations.
Setup GH actions (+ possible Dagger) for
The purpose of this issue is to track the core Git implementation of the api.FilesystemStore
interface.
This type handles obtaining a mountable implementation of the wazero filesystem abstraction.
While we have a fs.FS
compatible implementation, we will start out with using their DirFS
implementation which goes straight to the underlying host filesystem. Eventually, we may move to a virtual implementation when they make their internal interface public.
We will leverage go-git
and explore supporting both in memory and on disk (/tmp) clones.
We need to support both reads and writes.
Reads should be in the form of a read-only snapshot of a given revision.
The write interface should be transactional and isolated.
As with the local implementation, we should support a source type: git
in configuration with relevant fields.
sources:
flipt:
type: git
git:
repository: https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt.git
cup:
type: git
git:
repository: https://github.com/flipt-io/cup.git
View requires the product of a simpler, read-only snapshot of the filesystem for a target revision.
The revision supplied could be a target SHA or a reference that needs resolving to the latest available SHA.
Once the provided function to View
has returned, the implementation simply needs to propagate any error
values forward.
Update is more complicated than View. In particular it handles the update flow documented in the design document here: https://github.com/flipt-io/cup/blob/main/docs/DESIGN.md#flow.
This implementation is the heart of the contribution flow inside cup
.
At a high-level for each Update
it must at-least:
source
configurationSupports #2
This issue tracks implementing the List
function for the WASM/WASI Controller.
The role of this function is to list multiple instances of a resources by namespace
and optional label key/pairs.
The controller needs to:
/
["list", kind, namespace, ...(k/v pairs)]
[]*cup.Resource
and return themfunc (*Controller) List(context.Context, *ListRequest) ([]*cup.Resource, error) { /**/ }
The Controler can list and filter multiple resources for a given namespace
The package needs a bit of love (unit tests, comments etc.).
Once it is tidied up, we should tag a version of it for external use.
It would be nice to potentially move the Flipt controller into the Flipt codebase.
(doing so would be better served though if we also solved #33)
There are a number of pieces currently hard-coded that should be moved out as configuration or API parameters.
These include:
main
)This issues tracks the work required to build a local FilesystemStore
for the pkg/api
package.
This source is primarily useful for local evaluation / development experience.
This storage implementation works directly on the underlying target filesystem.
There are no proposals made during an update, just direct and immediate effect change.
The implementation should be super straight-forward and we can simply just pass the path to the location on the actual filesystem.
The store should be configurable such that, in theory, multiple directories could be named in configuration.
sources:
flipt:
type: local
local:
path: "/projects/flipt"
cup:
type: local
local:
path: "/projects/cup"
Ultimately, these manifest as API Server sources:
/apis/flipt/...
/apis/cup/...
The current thinking is to use cupd
for the server itself.
Then reserve cup
as the name for a local CLI for interacting with an instance of cupd
.
The following are some ideas for what this local CLI could support.
cup config
Much like kubectl config
we could have some local configuration management.
For example, setting a local context
.
Much like how kubectl
has a cluster
+ namespace
in its context, we could have a server
+ source
+ namespace
context.
cup ctl
cup ctl
could be considered much like kubectl
. It would handle introspection into the resources available and access to the resources themseves. A reflection of the API servers capabilities for the command line.
cup ctl resources
cup ctl get flags
cup ctl list flipt.io/segments
cat resource.yaml | cup ctl put
cup build
This is a long way off idea 💡
cup
could support packaging Controller implementations.
It could take a Resource Definition file and the identified target WASM binary and package them into an OCI image.
This image could be loaded into some kind of local store to be consumed directly by cup.
It could also be pushed to some target upstream OCI registry for distribution.
