File service

Start

1. Copy .env.example file as .env. Replace the values of the file. These are currently hardcoded, but would be dynamically returned by the lookup service.
   • FILEURLS: The go service wasn't able to respond to all requests, due to the fact that the file server returned 503 (unavailable). The current solution is to pass in multiple URLs - each being served by a different file server. The file-service itself then picks randomly between one of the passed in URLs.
2. docker build -t file-service --platform linux/amd64 .
3. docker run -e PORT=3000 -p 3000:3000 file-service

Further considerations

• What happens on network downtime?
• Look into request and response timeouts
• grpc vs REST
