What is a Site? ​

A Site in Vasat is a dedicated microservice.

A site can run as a web application, but can also be a command line application or a servless application running on a cloud provider implementaion such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions.

A Site must be registered in order for vasat nodes to communicate with each other.

A Single Microservice must has a single Site with 'isLocal = true'. The same MicroService can have any number of Remote Sites where isLocal=false

The Local Site record must have a public and private RSA Key. The Remote Site records need only a public key.

When initalised as a web application with a Database, a new site object and keypair is automatically created.

Branding and metadata ​

A site objects name and logo are used to brand the Vasat ADmin UI. When running as a web service there is also an endpoint

/site/info

That will show publicly avilable information about the site as well as any additional information placed in the 'meta' field
