  • You seem to be a very novice programmer.

    how do I setup my dev environment

    ? Google that? Use a devcontainer? I mean literally a question answered thousands of times.

    where should I start

    Setting up your dev environment. Then maybe create a few projects for you to test your package manager empirically?

    do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm?

    Depends on what you want to do. I’m honestly not sure how to help you here? What kind of answer are you fishing for here?








  • Preflight it? If you ask external API every 6 hours about known range of host IDs with a date, then 1h before you need that information call the external API and check if it works or returns garbage? That way you can get some extra time to maybe react earlier to an incident? It honestly depends on the nature of your job and the qualities of your traffic, but generally speaking the problem you have is unfixable and the best you can hope for is early detection (if that matters for you).

    If however you’re a pass-through API to the external one, eg. a different service calls your API with a hostID and the hostIDs are not a known finite pool, then you can forget about preflighting.
