Quick Start Examples

# List all available services
uapi services:list

# Register a new service (full onboarding workflow)
uapi services:register

# Start the API gateway
uapi api:start

# Stop the API gateway
uapi api:stop

# Add routes to existing service
uapi services:add-routes my-service

# Regenerate API configuration after changes
uapi api:regenerate

# Merge OpenAPI specs into unified specification
uapi api:restitch

Service Registration Workflow

The uapi services:register command provides a complete onboarding experience:

• Service Configuration: Prompts for repository, routes, build/run commands, and local development settings
• OpenAPI Spec Fetching: Automatically downloads the service's OpenAPI specification
• Unified Spec Generation: Merges all service specs into a unified OpenAPI specification
• Route Configuration: Updates API gateway routes and Envoy configuration
• GitHub Integration: Sets up GitHub workflows for automatic OpenAPI spec updates
• Pull Request: Automatically creates PR with unified API integration changes

Configuration

Services are configured in services.yaml. The tool automatically searches for this file in the current directory or any parent directory.

Example Service Configuration

services:
  my_service:
    repository: https://github.com/org/my-service
    openapi_spec: openapi.yaml
    service_owner: org/team-name
    routes:
      - /api/v1/my-service
      - /my-service
    development:
      build_command: npm install    # Optional
      run_command: npm run dev
    hosts:
      localhost:
        host: host.docker.internal
        port: 8080
        timeout: 30s
        health_check_path: /health

Key Features

• Complete Service Onboarding: Single command setup from registration to PR creation
• Automatic OpenAPI Integration: Fetches, merges, and unifies API specifications
• GitHub Workflow Integration: Automatically sets up workflows for spec synchronization
• Route Management: Add and manage service routes with conflict detection
• Configuration Management: Regenerate API gateway configuration and routing

OpenAPI Integration

• Individual Specs: Service OpenAPI specs are stored in openapi/{service-name}.yml
• Unified Spec: Combined specification available at openapi/unified-spec.yml
• Automatic Merging: Specs are automatically merged when services are registered or updated
• Swagger UI: Use the provided Swagger server to view unified API documentation
