Running the service

To fully function, the service needs to run two main components:

• An HTTP server
• A background worker

By default, the mas-cli server command will start both components. It is possible to only run the HTTP server by setting the --no-worker option, and run a background worker with the mas-cli worker command.

Both components are stateless, and can be scaled horizontally by running multiple instances of each.

Runtime requirements

Other than the binary, the service needs a few files to run:

• The templates, referenced by the templates.path configuration option
• The compiled policy, referenced by the policy.path configuration option
• The frontend assets, referenced by the path option of the assets resource in the http.listeners configuration section
• The frontend manifest file, referenced by tge templates.assets_manifest configuration option

Be sure to check the installation instructions for more information on how to get these files, and make sure the configuration file is updated accordingly.
