Usage

Installation

Hindsight requires you to use Helm v3. Our .tool-versions file will enforce the correct software dependencies for you if you're using asdf.

Hindsight currently uses Kafka to decouple services, and we suggest using Strimzi to deploy Kafka to Kubernetes. The helm chart assumes you'll use Strimzi but does not install it. You must do that yourself or toggle Strimzi off via helm values (--set strimzi.enabled=false).

Our install script will install Strimzi, wait for a Ready state, then deploy Hindsight.

./scripts/install [RELEASE_NAME] [NAMESPACE] [values]

Versioning

By default, .Chart.AppVersion from our Helm chart will be deployed. This can be overwritten by setting image.tag. The latest tag is auto-published to Docker hub on every merge to master, so use it to get the latest-and-greatest updates. Make sure you set image.pullPolicy to Always when you do it:

./scripts/install [RELEASE_NAME] [NAMESPACE] image.tag=latest image.pullPolicy=Always [...]

AWS

To deploy to AWS, we suggest you start with:

./scripts/install [RELEASE_NAME] [NAMESPACE] \
                  global.objectStore.bucketName=[BUCKET_NAME] \
                  global.objectStore.region=[AWS_REGION] \
                  presto.minio.enable=false \
                  presto.postgres.enable=false \
                  presto.postgres.service.externalAddress=[RDS_URL] \
                  presto.postgres.db.password=[DB_PASSWORD]
