Detailed Information

A jEAP service and library which provides a quick overview of system and service compliance with defined policies.

The jEAP Governance Service is a compliance monitoring solution designed to help development teams and administrators maintain adherence to organizational policies and best practices across microservices and systems within the jEAP ecosystem. ## Purpose This service acts as a centralized compliance dashboard and policy enforcement framework, providing visibility into compliance status across all managed services. A scheduled evaluation process regularly checks services against defined rules and reports on compliance violations. ## Key Features - **Developer Feedback:** Teams receive clear information on whether their services comply with organizational policies - **Flexible Rule Management:** Administrators can temporarily deactivate individual rules for specific systems or services when exceptions are needed - **Extensible Rules Engine:** New compliance rules can be easily added through a plugin mechanism, allowing teams to provide their own custom rules ## Architecture The service follows a modular, extensible architecture: - **Data Source Integration:** Automatically collects compliance-relevant information from various sources including the Arch Repo service, Deployment Log service, Prometheus/Grafana metrics, and project-specific data providers - **Scheduled Evaluation:** A cron job periodically evaluates all services against configured rules - **Plugin-Based Configuration:** Teams can configure the service and provide custom rules through a flexible plugin mechanism ## Use Cases - Ensuring microservices meet requirements (e.g., authentication, compliance with requirements from architecture, ..) - Validating deployment configurations against established standards - Monitoring technical debt and deprecated dependency usage - Enforcing documentation and metadata requirements - Tracking observability and monitoring coverage The Governance Service helps maintain high-quality, compliant services across the jEAP platform while providing the flexibility teams need to manage exceptions and evolve policies over time.
