Meta-modules are simple npm modules which include:
- A validated and secure Node.js library
- Metadata for configuring the library (Environment Variables)
- A Docker Container Image which is validated to work with the chosen library
- Metadata for configuring the service's container
For example, the redis meta-module bundles the redis library, a Redis 5 Docker image, and knows how to connect to Redis, without any configuration! Meta-modules wrap some of the complexity of building microservices with Node.js, allowing you to rapidly iterate with the stack of your choice!
