showcase | Example demonstration microservice

showcase is a Ruby library. showcase has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This micro API is for demonstration purposes only. I have built this opinionated micro API as a demonstration of a micro service running inside an Alpine Linux hardened container with grsec configured, locked down permissions and suid files removed. It is built to be lightweight, fast and easily expandable, by providing eased interactivity through GraphQL, which can easily be incorporated into many different projects. dry-rb are a set of libraries that are actively being worked on to provide solid implementation for emergent (and already well-established) behaviors inside Ruby. This demonstration API implements domain-level, isolated, modular-based classes (with Application[...] accessors) which are eager loaded at runtime, utilizing only very basic require and $LOAD_PATH logic. System dependencies or bulky third-party libraries are loaded "when required" to ensure that application overheads remain as low as possible. ROM removes "persistence" coupling from inside domain objects, helping to ensure that data persistence and any accompanying business logic remain strictly de-coupled. Data is persisted to specific stores using adapters standardized with well-defined interfaces. Roda provides a fast, closure-style routing tree framework that provides simple syntactical sugar as a thin layer on top of Rack. However, it is not extensively used in this showcase as the implementation of GraphQL means that only one endpoint is required.
