Platform Tools

Platform tools is a collection of command line utilities that Automate services can use in their run-scripts for common tasks:

• pg-helper: A tool that exposes common postgresql bootstrapping operations (creating users, creating databases, etc). This tool can be used in init and run scripts for services that need postgresql databases set up.

• service-health: A tool to make a health check GRPC call to a given service and return an exit code compatible with Habitat's health_check hook.

• secrets-helper: A tool for managing on-disk shared-data. This is to support legacy applications. It is called secrets-helper because it provides data using the same API that is expected by the Erlang chef_secrets library. It does NOT handle secrets securely and is simply intended for giving processes that expect data via the chef_secrets interface access to on-disk data. New services should instead use the secrets-service for managing user-provided secrets.
