Hermes was built with extensibility in mind. As a result, there are two ways to build deployment packages.
This is the simplest way to start. Clone the repository and build distribution packages using Gradle.
git clone https://github.com/allegro/hermes.git
# build hermes
cd hermes
./gradlew distZip -Pdistribution
# build hermes-console
cd hermes-console
./package.sh
This will cause distribution packages for all modules to build. Look for them in:
Having deployed Vanilla Hermes, you can only use configuration options to alter the behavior.
Not all features can be configured via configuration options. Some require adding additional code to Hermes (like startup or shutdown hooks, authorization etc). This is why Hermes modules are published in Maven Central and can be added as a dependency to any application. This is how we extend and add additional features to our internal Hermes deployment.
Add dependency on Frontend module:
compile group: 'pl.allegro.tech.hermes', name: 'hermes-frontend', version: versions.hermes
Use HermesFrontend.Builder to create usable HermesFrontend instance and start it:
public class MyHermesFrontend {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.logger(MyHermesFrontend.class);
public static final void main(String... args) {
HermesFrontend.Builder builder = HermesFrontend.frontend()
.withStartupHook((serviceLocator) -> logger.info("Starting MyHermes"))
.withShutdownHook((serviceLocator) -> logger.info("Stopping MyHermes"));
/* introduce additional configuration - brokerListeners etc */
HermesFrontend frontend = builder.build();
frontend.start();
}
}
Create any type of runnable (distZip or fatJar) and deploy it.
Add dependency on Consumers module:
compile group: 'pl.allegro.tech.hermes', name: 'hermes-consumers', version: versions.hermes
Use HermesConsumersBuilder to create usable HermesConsumers instance and start it:
public class MyHermesConsumers {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.logger(MyHermesConsumers.class);
public static final void main(String... args) {
HermesConsumersBuilder builder = HermesConsumers.consumers()
.withStartupHook((serviceLocator) -> logger.info("Starting MyHermes"))
.withShutdownHook((serviceLocator) -> logger.info("Stopping MyHermes"));
/* introduce additional configuration like message senders etc */
HermesConsumers consumers = builder.build();
consumers.start();
}
}
Create any type of runnable (distZip or fatJar) and deploy it.
Hermes management is a simple Spring Boot project. Thus, it can be extended like any other Spring application.
compile group: 'pl.allegro.tech.hermes', name: 'hermes-management', version: versions.hermes
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(
basePackages = {"pl.allegro.tech.hermes.management", "com.example.my-hermes.management"},
excludeFilters = {@ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, value = HermesManagement.class)}
)
public class MyHermesManagement {
public static void main(String... args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyHermesManagement.class, args);
}
}
