@backstroke/worker

Backstroke Worker

The Backstroke Worker eats off of a rsmq queue, performing a link update. In order, here's roughly what happens:

• A new operation is pulled off the queue.
• The link's type is checked:
  • If the type is repo:
    • Check to make sure the fork didn't opt out of Backstroke pull requests.
      • If so, return an error.
    • Create a pull request to propose the new changes.
  • If the type is fork-all:
    • Get all forks of the upstream.
    • Loop through each:
      • Check to make sure the fork didn't opt out of Backstroke pull requests.
        • If so, return an error.
      • Create a pull request to propose the new changes.
• Add the response back into the Redis instance under the operation id, so it can be fetched by the main server.
