speedrunsh / speedrun Public
This project satisfies a simple need: to be able to perform certain type of operations, such as a service restart, occasionally and on a large number of machines. It should allow you, the SRE/DevOps person, to act on a large scale infrastructure in case of immediate need. The solution attempts to be simple to use, require little maintenance and be easy to configure. It's inspired by Saltstack's execution modules.
Portal is the agent running on each server you want to send commands to. It will receive commands sent from Speedrun and respond with the outcome details accordingly.
There is no server component in Speedrun's architecture. Service discovery is performed against native facilities of each supported provider such as GCP, AWS or Consul. This eliminates the need to deploy,maintain and operate a server and all problems that would come with it as a consequence, such as: scalability, failure tolerance, redundancy, agent lifecycle management etc.
Communication between Speedrun and Portals is performed via dRPC, a lightweight, drop-in replacement for gRPC. All dRPC interactions travel on top of TLS1.3 and can be mutually authenticated (mTLS).
