Mastering Developer Portals: Discover & Integrate API Schemas with Port
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- The ability to discover resource definitions makes a huge difference. It allows me to stop wasting my time rewriting "stuff" from one format to another but focus on creating APIs and let others discover what's behind them.
Port just released a feature that enables just that. It allows us to discover schemas from APIs and convert them into data-models and actions.
In this video use the new "discovery" feature in Port to combine it with the whole life-cycle of resources. We'll see how to combine it with Crossplane, Argo CD, GitHub Actions, and, probably, a few other tools. We'll see how we can enable developers to manage anything, be it applications, databases, clusters, or anything else. We are about to build a whole platform, not only the console.

What do you think about "discovery" in Port? How important do you think that feature is?
awesome and love your improvement suggestions. Especially the observability part. Developers must have insights to their resourses they created.
Awesome video, thanks :)
great video!!
Thanks for another great video! That's actually the "beginning of the end" for other internal developer portal implementations, even with the current downsides it's still very usable!
So we've seen how to build the portal, how to create Crossplane Compositions, and many other things; but what about the GitOps part? How do we define the structure of the GitOps repo to bootstrap the cluster addons? How do we support overrides for multiple environments for these addons? Is it something you have already covered in another video?
I'll add it to me Todo list for one of the upcoming videos.
Does it allow to define "Day 2 operations" for such custom resources? For example, if we speak about databases, as a DBA I'd like to have an ability to run administrative operations (table vacuuming, reindexnig, etc) against databases provisioned from Crossplane provider. I'd like to be able to configure, which cluster the operation should run against, database name, table name and maybe some other flags. Is it possible in Port? And is it possible to link such operations with Crossplane claims?
You can add all those operations to crossplane compositions. Port, in the context of that video, generates forms based on composition schemas which you can use to submit to GitHub actions (or any other pipeline) where you will push manifests to git and let argo CD or flux take care of synchronization, or execute any other tasks. On top of that, port feeds the data from the cluster back to it's UI so that you can see what's going on.
So, the short answer is yes 🙂
is this sponsored? why are you showing a paid solution? kind of disappointing..
Port is truly my choice for portal consoles. The alternative is backstage that is great only for those being able to have a dedicated team to manage it.
