greening-digital / greenspeed Goto Github PK

We want to make it possible to run a sitespeed check as a service, but we want to make it scale to zero using as open and green a stack as possible.

To begin with, we're using google cloud run, because:

• it works with containers which a v popular
• runs on knative, meaning we're not locking ourselves too much into one company
• it scales to zero
• there's a bunch of decent instrumentation and billing already set up.

To begin with, greenspeed needs to run as a service where it will accept a POST with data sent along the lines of this handler.

https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/tutorials/pubsub#run_pubsub_handler-nodejs

If this is a valid url, we pass the url to sitespeed with the following parameters:

./bin/sitespeed.js https://PROVIDED_URL --headless -n 1 --sustainable.enable  --sustainable.co2PerDomain --sustainable.dirtiestResources  --sustainable.pageViews 1000000 --

### Acceptance criteria

We can close this issue when we have a HTTP service that:

• accepts a url
• checks that it's valid
• runs sitespeed if valid

I've found this format useful, and our future selves will be thankful.

This is open source, so travisCI would be fine, but we are already using github actions on the main GD site, so ca can refer to that for setting it up.

Travis uses GCP under the hood, and Github probably uses MS's cloud under the hood, or eventually will.
