Validation and Future Steps#

In this section the initial requirements are measured against the current implementation.

Functional Requirements#

The functional requirements are not matched by the current implementation.

Create an Unified Endpoint#

The client should be able to access all functionality over HTTPS. This includes:

  • Get Bridge endpoints
  • Get videostream from the Spyglass

This requirement is partially fulfilled. With one project on a temporary domain it is possible to access the project as intended. But it is not yet integrated in the target network.

Enable routing to different Projects#

The routing solution should be able to support multiple projects which can be visited independently from each other.

This requirement is not met. A solution is designed, but the feasibility in a corporate environment has not been investigated.

A temporary solution can be created by using another reverse proxy in front of the individual pirate modules. This proxy would strip a /projectX/ suffix from the URL and forward the requests to the standardized endpoints of the modules.

The available Projects should be aggregated in a single source.

This requirement is not met. As there is not yet a way to target multiple projects, no such site / aggregation is implemented.

Non-Functional Requirements#

  • The solution needs to be robust and run for at least 3 hours und continuous load.
    • A reverse proxy is a very established technology and ran 72 hours without interruption.
  • The solution needs to enable 24/7 availability.
    • A reverse proxy is a very established technology and ran 72 hours without interruption.
  • The latency should not be significantly increased by the routing.
    • A reverse proxy is a very established technology and latency is minimal.
  • A single project must be implemented.
    • The current implementation points directly to the single project. This requirement is fulfilled.

Future Steps#

  • The original goal of integrating this solution into a more complex network and enabling access to multiple projects needs to be implemented.
  • Encapsulating the server into a Docker container for easier management.
