isolated_database_service

Microservice wrapper for isolated_server

isolated_server lets you easily bring up and down clusters of temporary MySQL and MongoDB servers on your local machine or CI environment for testing purposes. However, it can only be used from Ruby.

This is a wrapper for isolated_server which provides a simple JSON REST API for it, making it language-agnostic and callable from Java, Scala, Python, etc.

Running

The script boot_isolated_database_service can be used to start the service:

bin/boot_isolated_database_service

Pass the -p argument to configure the listen port, or Sinatra's default is used.

bin/boot_isolated_database_service -p 9000
