Go UDP Service

This sample shows how you can deploy server-client services utilizing UDP for communication. The setup underscores the utilization of lightweight, connectionless data exchange between these components within a networked context.

Steps to Deploy in Choreo

Deploy the server

1. Create a new Service component with following parameters
   • Build Pack: Dockerfile
   • Dockerfile path: docker-udp-service/Dockerfile.server
   • Build Context: docker-udp-service
2. Deploy the component
3. Navigate to the Overview page of the component and copy the endpoint address with the Project visibility.

Deploy the client

1. Create a new Manual Task component with following parameters

   • Build Pack: Dockerfile
   • Dockerfile path: docker-udp-service/Dockerfile.client
   • Build Context: docker-udp-service

2. Navigate to the Configs & Secrets page of the component and add the following environment variables as the ConfigMap with a custom config name.

   • SERVER_ADDRESS: <server-address>

   Use the address copied from the server component (Step 3) as the value for SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable. Example: udp-server-3192360657:5000

3. Deploy the component and run it by clicking the Run Once button.

Run the sample locally

1. Start the server

   go run ./server
   

2. Start the client

   SERVER_ADDRESS=localhost:5050 go run ./client
