Reconfiguring Edge Applications At Runtime

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors and comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause a runtime configuration service at an edge site running the system to:
• receive, from a particular application among one or more applications deployed at the edge site, a registration request comprising a particular identifier associated with the particular application;
• establish a connection to a control plane application programming interface (API) gateway located in an edge backend;
• send, to the control plane API gateway, a state request message comprising a site identifier and one or more identifiers associated with one or more registered applications, wherein the one or more identifiers comprise the particular identifier;
• receive, from the control plane API gateway, a state response message comprising a desired state for each of the one or more registered applications identified by the one or more identifiers;
• store a desired state for the particular application to a storage associated with the runtime configuration service;
• and
• send, to the particular application, a notification indicating an updated desired state for the particular application is available.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to, by a runtime configuration service at an edge site:

• receive, from a particular application among one or more applications deployed at the edge site, a registration request comprising a particular identifier associated with the particular application;
• establish a connection to a control plane application programming interface (API) gateway located in an edge backend;
• send, to the control plane API gateway, a state request message comprising a site identifier and one or more identifiers associated with one or more registered applications, wherein the one or more identifiers comprise the particular identifier;
• receive, from the control plane API gateway, a state response message comprising a desired state for each of the one or more registered applications identified by the one or more identifiers;
• store a desired state for the particular application to a storage associated with the runtime configuration service;
• and
• send, to the particular application, a notification indicating an updated desired state for the particular application is available.
