Flux as a Service... for free!
Running Fluxpipe with Docker on Fly.io
Flux as a Service ... for free!
In our previous article we squeezed Flux(lib) into a stand-alone, serverless-ready function serving query results in milliseconds. But not everything has to be serverless!
Fluxpipe-server is also available as static binary and Docker image.
Let's use it to launch a free forever Fluxpipe instance using fly.io
TLDR; Here's a Live Demo
If you're a Fly.io user, all it takes is one command:
fly launch --image ghcr.io/metrico/fluxpipe:latest --now
Easy. Follow the prompts to name your instance and select a region:
? App Name (leave blank to use an auto-generated name):
? Select region: lax (Los Angeles, California (US))
? Would you like to deploy now? (y/N)
Done! You're up and running!
Run fly open to open your deployed app in a browser.
Flux Play
Fluxpipe embeds a lightweight UI adapted from ClickHouse Play (Thanks, Alexey!) ready to use with the Flux language
📊 Grafana
Next, configure your Fluxpipe as an InfluxDB datasource in Grafana and go crazy!
⬛ Curl
Last but not least, you can use curl or any other tool to query the Fluxpipe CSV API
curl -XPOST https://fluxpipe.fly.dev/api/v2/query -sS \
-H 'Accept:application/csv' \
-H 'Content-type:application/vnd.flux' \
-d 'import g "generate" g.from(start: 2022-04-01T00:00:00Z, stop: 2022-04-01T00:03:00Z, count: 3, fn: (n) => n)'
It's that simple! 🎉
Enjoy your free forever Fluxpipe instance running on Fly!
