Static Asset Management Microservice (SAMM)

Warning

This is a Work In Progress (WIP), this software is not to be considered production-ready.

This repository contains the implementation for a plug-and-play microservice that provides endpoints for basic static asset management. The microservice is intended to be deployed privately within the ecosystem and should not be exposed publicly as its authentication capabilities are based on a very simple JWT flow. However, the user can easily override the authentication flow in order to integrate their preferred approach.

Functionalities

The microservice implements the following functionalities:

• Asset Upload: clients can upload base64 encoded assets to the service which performs the following operations:

  • Asset metadata is extracted from the file buffer

  • Asset is scanned for malware and NSFW content

  • Asset is optimized for storage (e.g. resize, compression)

  • Asset is encrypted using a simple cypher

  • Asset is uploaded to external storage provider (e.g. AWS S2)

  • Metadata and asset path on external bucket are stored in the service database

• Asset Download: TBD
