Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Airkeeper

A tool to update a beacon server value on a time interval

Airkeeper will fetch the value from the API (similarly to Airnode) and if a specifided condition is true then it will update the beacon value.

There are two different lambda functions that can be used to update the beacon value:

  1. rrp-beacon-update uses the RrpBeaconServer contract from airnode-protocol v0.4. See Beacons

    This function will fetch the API values for all triggers set in the airkeeper.json file, read current the beacon value in RrpBeaconServer and update it if the API value is not within the threshold (also defined in the airkeeper.json file).

  2. psp-beacon-update uses the DapiServer contract from airnode-protocol v1.

    This function will fetch the API values for all subscriptions in the airkeeper.json file, call a condition function on chain and update the beacon value if the condition is true.

Both functions will require a sponsor to be defined in the airkeeper.json file in order to derive a sponsor wallet that will be used by Airkeeper to submit transactions. These sponsor wallets must be funded by a sponsor before Airkeeper can start updating beacon values. The protocol ID to be used when deriving the sponsor wallet for RRP beacon updates is 12345 and for PSP it is 2.

Setup

  • Airkeeper will require a configuration file that matches the one being used by the target Airnode. The Airnode's config.json and secrets.env file can be copied from the Airnode repo and placed in the /config directory of this repo. Examples of these two files can be found in the /config directory of this repo.

  • Airkeeper will also require an additional configuration file named airkeeper.json, which will be merged with the configuration. airkeeper.json will contain configuration specific to Airkeeper. An example is available in the /config directory of this repo.

  • Another requirement is to have an AWS account where these lambda functions can be deployed. Cloud provider credentials must be provided in the aws.env file and placed in the /config directory of this repo.

Docker instructions

Use the docker image to deploy or remove an Airkeeper to and from a cloud provider such as AWS.

The docker image supports two commands.

  • deploy: Deploys both Airkeeper lambda functions using the provided configuration files.
  • remove: Removes both previously deployed Airkeeper lambda functions.

Build docker image

The docker image can be built by running the following command from the root directory:

docker build . -t api3/airkeeper

Deployment

The deploy command will create a new AWS lambda function set and a new AWS cloud scheduler. The serverless stage and region variables are set with the following priority order:

  1. CLI options
  2. aws.env file
  3. default values stage: 'dev' and region: 'us-east-1'
docker run -it --rm \
--env-file config/aws.env \
-v "$(pwd)/config:/app/config" \
api3/airkeeper:latest deploy --stage dev --region us-east-1

For Windows, use CMD (and not PowerShell).

docker run -it --rm ^
--env-file config/aws.env ^
-v "$(pwd)/config:/app/config" ^
api3/airkeeper:latest deploy --stage dev --region us-east-1

Removal

The remove command will delete the previously deployed AWS lambda function and its AWS cloud scheduler.

docker run -it --rm \
--env-file config/aws.env \
-v "$(pwd)/config:/app/config" \
api3/airkeeper:latest remove --stage dev --region us-east-1

For Windows, use CMD (and not PowerShell).

docker run -it --rm ^
--env-file config/aws.env ^
-v "$(pwd)/config:/app/config" ^
api3/airkeeper:latest remove --stage dev --region us-east-1

Development instructions

Make sure to have yarn installed, then run:

yarn install

Running Airkeeper locally

Follow these steps to run Airkeeper locally:

  1. Open a new terminal and start a new local ethereum node.
  2. Open a new terminal and start the local 'Currency Converter API' server.
  3. Deploy all required contracts (RrpBeaconServer, DapiServer, etc) and set everything up (whitelisting, sponsorship, etc).
  4. Switch to the Airkeeper root directory and run yarn install.
  5. Add appropriate values to the config.json and airkeeper.json files.
  6. Finally, run yarn sls:invoke-local:psp-beacon-update to invoke the psp.beaconUpdate handler function or run yarn sls:invoke-local:rrp-beacon-update to invoke the rrp.beaconUpdate handler function.

Running Airkeeper on AWS Lambda

Airkeeper is meant to be deployed to the AWS lambda service and for this you will need to add your credentials to the config/aws.env file. Once done, the export-aws-env.sh script can be used to load them into the environment.

  1. (Optional) Run yarn sls:config to configure the AWS credentials. You must first configure the config/aws.env file with your AWS account details and then run source export-aws-env.sh script to load the env vars.
  2. Run yarn sls:deploy to deploy the Airkeeper lambda function.
  3. Run yarn sls:invoke:psp to invoke the Airkeeper PSP beacon update lambda function.
  4. Run yarn sls:remove to remove the Airkeeper lambda function.

Additional considerations

RRP beacon update

  • The request sponsor account must first call AirnodeRrp.setSponsorshipStatus(rrpBeaconServer.address, true) to allow the RrpBeaconServer contract to make requests to AirnodeRrp contract.

  • A keeperSponsorWallet needs to be derived for the sponsor-airnode pair. This is a similar process to deriving the sponsor wallet used by Airnode to fulfill requests but in this case the wallet derivation path is slightly different. This wallet needs to be funded with the native token in order for Airkeeper to use it to submit beacon updates requests.

  • Request sponsor account must also call RrpBeaconServer.setUpdatePermissionStatus(keeperSponsorWallet.address, true) to allow the keeperSponsorWallet to update beacon server value.

  • The template used by the RrpBeaconServer contract is expected to contain all the parameters required in the API call.

Proto-PSP beacon update

  • Current PSP beacon update implementation is a prototype; allocators, authorizers and sponsorship have been ignored. This is because the current implementation is not ready for production.

  • Subscription and template details are expected to be provided in the airkeeper.json file meaning that Airkeeper will not fetch that information from AirnodeProtocol contract.

Scripts

The scripts directory contains scripts that can be used to test the lambda functions against a local running eth node.

Local PSP beacon update

First you need to start a local ethereum node and grab private keys of funded test accounts to add them to each account in the psp-beacon-local.json config file. Then you need to start the local 'Currency Converter API' server.

After that you can run the following command:

  • yarn run setup:psp-local: Deploys the DapiServer contract and registers a single subscription. Use the values displayed in the console to fill in the airkeeper.json file. Then you can run yarn sls:invoke-local:psp-beacon-update to update the beacon using PSP.

Testing

Unit Tests

Unit tests can then be run with:

yarn run test

E2E Tests

E2E tests are defined in the test/e2e/ folder and are identified by the feature.ts extension.

In order to run E2E tests, you will need to have both an Ethereum node and the "dummy" web API running. The simplest way to accomplish this is by running:

# Start an Ethereum node and mock API
yarn run dev:eth-node
yarn run dev:api

# OR

# Start both an Ethereum node and the "dummy" web API as background processes
yarn run dev:background

E2E tests can then be run with:

yarn run test:e2e
