Distributed Remote Code Execution Engine

Send code, we will run it :)

Blog version: https://blog.rockthejvm.com/remote-code-execution-engine/

Video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMlJC7Kr330

Requirements for deploying locally:

• docker engine

Running locally (startup may be slow for the first time since it needs to pull a few docker images):

• clone the project and navigate to the root directory
• start the docker engine
• chmod +x deploy.sh
• ./deploy.sh

In case you change code and want to run the new version you should execute:

• ./deploy.sh rebuild

Example:

• sending POST request at localhost:8080/lang/python
• attaching python code to request body

Supported programming languages, HTTP paths and simple code snippets for request body, respectively:

• Java - localhost:8080/lang/java

public class BrainDrill {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("drill my brain");
    }
}

• Python - localhost:8080/lang/python

print("drill my brain") 

• Ruby - localhost:8080/lang/ruby

puts "drill my brain" 

• Perl - localhost:8080/lang/perl

print "drill my brain\n"; 

• JavaScript - localhost:8080/lang/javascript

console.log("drill my brain");

• PHP - localhost:8080/lang/php

<?php
echo "drill my brain";
?>

Architecture Diagram:

TODO:

• add support for C, Go, Rust and others - ❌
• use other pekko libraries to make cluster bootstrapping and management flexible and configurable - ❌
• wrap the cluster in k8s and enable autoscaling - ❌
