Writing event listeners
Our event system is driven by RabbitMQ, most of which you can ignore, because we've simplified it down to two kinds of event listeners:
Basically you either get:
- Immediate, best effort messages
- Queue based messages will be processed (eventually)
The allura platform creates a pool of queue consumers that handle messages, and it calls all the Reactors that are registered for that event.
Or, you can ask for immediate message receipt, with now guarantee of delivery.
Writing your own WebHooks
There's no reason a event listener can't call out over HTTP to some web service...
TODO: Document reactors that implement web-hooks after we write some ;)
Extending the allura markup
There is a special kind of queue based tool that allows you to extend the standard artifact reference system to add new artifact types (eg: sf:tg:ticket:149) and extend the syntax of our markup language (based on Waylan Limberg's excellent markdown implementation for python).
