Cloud Native GeoServer
RnD into:

demo of a “microservices” approach
-
split into individual components without extra spring definitions
-
example: wms depends on wfs (for GML output format)
-
spring-boot
-
filesystem-less approach:
-
jdbcconfig/jdbcstore
-
catalog change events - to drop caches etc..
-
jms-clustering module: considered
-
spring cloud bus: project wrapper around ...
Results:
-
Basic architecture working
-
Next step: going to write up docs / architecture to share
-
Work with community on where to work
-
community modules
-
perhaps a new repo in the geoserver github group
Q: Can spring cloud bus use aws events?
A: Perhaps: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-aws/spring-cloud-aws.html
Q: Stratus had a significant fork of GWC to store configuration into Redis?
How about this ...
A: No approach yet for GWC, focused on what could working with core OWS
services
Q: Web ui?
A: Thinking of using spring-session?
-
Note this is not enough, wicket has its own session handling, … in memory
-
Need to think wicket storage session, … not as easy as it seems 
-
UI on single node: a reasonable approach …
