Regolith (ReGo): The Foundation for Simplified Multi-Service API Interactions
Regolith, or ReGo, is an open-source Go-based application built to serve as a blanket layer over your API workflows, simplifying interactions with multiple REST APIs from various services like Okta, Google, Atlassian, and more. The term Regolith
combines two Greek words: rhegos (ῥῆγος), ‘blanket’, and lithos (λίθος), ‘rock’. ReGo provides a robust foundation for inter-service operations with dedicated service clients and helper functions.
Why ReGo?
Working with multiple REST APIs, each with their unique specifics, can be challenging. ReGo addresses this complexity by establishing a solid, maintainable foundation for managing these interactions. Much like the geological regolith provides a base for celestial bodies, our Regolith creates a structured package for each service along with common helper functionalities, simplifying your inter-service operations and API workflows.
Main Features
- Service-specific clients: Dedicated clients for each service streamline HTTP requests and JSON handling into detailed entities.
- Automated Documentation: Leverages gomarkdoc to automatically transform code comments into Markdown documentation.
- Common Helper Functions: Common helper functionalities enhance code reusability and maintainability.
- Universally Applicable Code: The code doesn’t rely on any company-specific logic, making it usable by any individual or company interacting with the services.
- Foundation for Compliance-as-Code: While initially conceived to streamline/solve internal challenges, the codebase is versatile enough to lay the groundwork for initiatives such as compliance-as-code.
Open Source and License
ReGo is open source and licensed under the Apache License 2.0, allowing its use, distribution, modification, and the distribution of modified versions under the terms stipulated in the license.
