This being my first time using goroutines, it is pretty messy but the
idea has been shown to be workable! We can concurrently look up multiple
contexts for a much faster response time especially when using multiple
servers.
Remaining TODOs are:
- [ ] Get proper status reporting (deployed/inactive/unknown)
- [ ] Error handling (especially when missing contexts)
- [ ] Refactor and tidy
This logic supports the following cases:
- Download a fresh apps.json and load it if missing
- Check if a local apps.json is old and get a fresh one if so
- Always save a local copy after downloading a fresh apps.json
The http.Head() call is faster than a http.Get() call (only carries back
respones headers) and aims to make the more general case more
performant: you have the latest copy of the apps.json and don't need to
download another one. This a direct port of our Bash implementation
logic.
