api-proxy-example

A proof of concept api proxy built on top of Spring Boot.

Purpose

Spinnaker aims to make it easy for users to integrate with pre-existing internal systems.

A common style of integration requires changes to both a Javascript UI and one or more JVM-based backend services.

This proxy eliminates the need for boiler plate APIs that do nothing more than marshall requests to/from the gateway service and your internal system.

It supports:

• declarative configuration format (no code needed!)
• authentication via client certificates
• proxying of GET requests (POST forthcoming)

Configuration

See application.yml

proxies:
  - id: flickr
    uri: https://api.flickr.com

    uri: https://api.spinnaker:7103
    keyStore: /path/to/my/keystore.jks
