Firefox Accounts Basket Proxy

This server acts as an intermediary between Firefox Accounts and Basket, Mozilla's email newsletter subscription system. It allows FxA-OAuth-authenticated access to the Basket API and is responsible for some background data-syncing tasks.

Over time, we expect most of the functionality of this proxy to be absorbed into Basket itself; running it as a separate system in the meantime gives us the ability to iterate quickly and minimise coupling between the two systems.

To run the proxy:

node ./bin/basket-proxy-server.js

To process account-related events from SQS:

node ./bin/basket-event-handler.js

For testing and development purposes, there's a minimal 'fake' implementation of the Basket server API that stores its state in memory. Run it like so, and the proxy will use it unless configured with the URL of a live Basket server:

node ./bin/fake-basket-server.js
