Total.js deployment in Flynn

[Sergej]

Hi Peter, first of all: what a great framework!

I have a deployment question. We use flynn.io to deploy and scale microservices and I faced a persistence issue with total.js Flow.

Flynn does not really have a support for a file system storage. Means if a container is redeployed or flynn gets restarted then data on file system gets lost.

Is there a way to configure total.js Flow to save its flow data into an external persitance storage like MongoDB, MySQL oder Postgresql?

Regards

Hi Sergej,

thank you very much.

No, this is not possible. But maybe I can add a support for something similiar, but it's a bit harder. Why don't you use Total.js SuperAdmin instead of Flynn?

[Sergej]

Hi Peter.

Yes SuperAdmin sounds good, but unfortunately we have a well established process with flynn and therefore I hoped to get it done this way.

How and where are the the flows actually stored? In the flow folder on the file system? Would it be a solution to develop the flow local, then push it to a repo and deploy on flynn from repo? This way would sattisfy my needs.

Flow stores data into the /yourapp/flow/ directory… Currently it can't be changed.

Would it be a solution to develop the flow local, then push it to a repo and deploy on flynn from repo? 

Maybe yes, but you can’t change the Flow in production :-D … BTW: some components can use Flow repository/NoSQL embedded database and data are stored on HDD.

Thank you!
