Codespaces#

GitHub Codespaces gives you a fully configured cloud development environment — Kind cluster, EasyTrade, and all tooling pre-installed — without any local setup.

1. Launch Codespace#

Click the badge below to open a new Codespace from the main branch:

Open in GitHub Codespaces

2. Codespace Configuration#

Machine sizing & secrets

Machine type

Select 4-core for enough resources to run the Kind cluster and all EasyTrade services.

Secrets — enter your credentials in the following Codespace secrets before launching:

Secret Description
DT_ENVIRONMENT_ID Your Dynatrace environment ID, e.g. abc12345 from https://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com
DT_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE Your environment type: live, sprint, or dev. If unsure, use live.
DT_PLATFORM_TOKEN Dynatrace Platform token for dtctl — see required scopes below
DT_API_TOKEN Dynatrace API token — requires the installerDownload scope for OneAgent installation
DT_DATA_INGEST_TOKEN Dynatrace API token — requires metrics.ingest, logs.ingest, and openTelemetryTrace.ingest scopes

DT_PLATFORM_TOKEN Scopes#

Your platform token requires at least these scopes:

  • app-engine:apps:run
  • dev-obs:breakpoints:set
  • storage:buckets:read
  • storage:application.snapshots:read
  • document:documents:write
  • document:documents:delete

See the full list at dtctl token-scope docs.

3. What Gets Deployed#

Once the Codespace finishes initialising, the following is ready:

  • A local Kind Kubernetes cluster
  • EasyTrade — deployed to the easytrade namespace
  • Dynatrace OneAgent — deployed via the Dynatrace Operator into the cluster
  • dtctl — installed via the devcontainer feature

4. Authenticate dtctl#

Configure your token and environment context:

dtctl config set-credentials my-token \
  --token "$DT_PLATFORM_TOKEN"

dtctl config set-context my-env \
  --environment "https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com" \
  --token-ref my-token

Then verify the connection:

dtctl doctor

5. Troubleshooting#

Cluster health#

Confirm the Kind cluster is running:

kubectl cluster-info

Pod status#

Check that all EasyTrade services are up:

kubectl get pods -n easytrade

All pods should show Running. If any are in CrashLoopBackOff or Pending, check the logs:

kubectl logs -f deployment/<pod-name> -n easytrade
