Parrot the POEditor pull-through cache
This cache makes it possible to pull app translations directly from POEditor instead of compiling them into your app. This means no more re-builds every time translations are updated!
- Battle tested: The software is in active use on the WISEflow platform with high request rates daily.
- All the formats: Parrot can provide all formats supported by POEditor.
- Cache choices: Parrot comes with a Filesystem and Redis cache to facilitate single app deployments and highly distributed deployments.
- OpenAPI: The Parrot API has been documented in OpenAPI specification which can be found in the doc/ directory.
- Easy deployment: A docker image and helm chart is provided.
The server can be configured with a yaml configuration file specified with the --config option. Every configuration can be overridden with an environment variable, where dots are replaced by underscores, such that API_TOKEN=xxx will set the api.token value
