Microservice Inspector

Get up and running

node index.js print

Design goals

• Microservices should themselves describe what they are, should not be perscriptive about how they self identify
  • Knowing that most microservices have a similar layout how should this work?
    • Plugins exist in /inspector folder, link to sample project with common plugins?
    • Try and auto detect with some default values that come with the package?
• Should be able to be installed and ran without a package.json (through npmx), should be able to run in ruby projects just with a nodejs dependency

Improvements

• Dry run command
• Debug statements
• Output data which was pushed to AirTable

Unknowns

• How do we know which values are actively being updated?
• How should we manage replacing values when there is something on air table but not something locally?
• How should I manage dependencies? -- currently they're coming from the inspector project though this feels kind of wrong
