Rest API Management Interface
Is it supported to access openblock funcionatilities via a REST API Admin Interface? For example to automate backups (export apps definition) or automate any other actions?
Hi, that sounds cool, could you please provide your real case scenario?
Hi.
By having an admin interface via an API, we can automate several tasks.
- For example: if we want to automate the backup of the code (by doing an export regularly).
- Another use case for a real use case, often companies have segregated environments, such as development, testing and production (in different network landscapes). If we want to automate a CI/CD pipeline between environments, this REST API could be an option.
- Other use case is simply extract metrics from the system: if we want to monitor time taken to answer requests to a backend ou external system (example) this also could be an option
Hi @tiagoaleixosoares,
Thanks for your reply! I see that you've mentioned some functionalities that are missing in Openblocks: code backup and syncing, system monitoring. Currently I'd prefer to provide Git integration and monitoring page instead of providing raw APIs because that's more "hard-core" and users have to orchestrate those up to make it work, what do you think?
Btw we've added "Git integration" and "System monitoring" in our roadmap, check it out: https://github.com/orgs/openblocks-dev/projects/1/views/1.
