Empowering B2B and European Research Communities with Self-Service Access to Open Source Infra
summary
Safespring builds a self‑service API that uses NATS for distributed messaging and Huma (Go) for HTTP/OpenAPI. The system deploys n‑microservices across Nordic datacenters to provision OpenStack projects and OKD namespaces, supports federation across two organizations for an EU project, and implements fun‑in/fun‑out, scatter‑gather and built‑in load balancing while enforcing quotas and ACLs. Main tradeoffs include a single abstraction over OpenStack vs OKD, integration testing limits, and timeout/error propagation challenges; the prototype functions in production‑like tests.
