Apache-ServiceComb-Kie
A service for configuration management in distributed system.
Conceptions
Key
Key could indicate a configuration like "timeout",
then the value could be "3s"
or indicates a file name "app.properties",
then the value could be content of app.properties
Labels
Each key could has labels. labels indicates a unique key.
A key "log_level" with labels "env=production"
may saves the value "INFO" for all application log level in production environment.
A key "log_level" with labels "env=production, component=payment"
may saves the value "DEBUG" for payment service in production environment.
It means all payment service print debug log, but for other service print info log.
So you can control your application runtime behaviors
by setting different labels to a key.
Why use kie
kie is a highly flexible config server. Nowadays, an operation team is facing different "x-centralized" system.
For example a classic application-centralized system. A operator wants to change config based on application name and version, then the label could be "app,version" for locating a app's configurations.
Meanwhile some teams manage app in a data center, each application instance will be deployed in a VM machine. then label could be "farm,role,server,component" to locate a app's configurations.
kie fit different senario for configuration management which benifit from label design.
