| [flux-dev] Dirigible in context of Flux |
|
Hi Flux-Developers, Thank you for the opportunity to share more information about Dirigible project in context of the relation to Flux. Dirigible aims at bringing the developer environment as regular desktop IDEs like Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, etc. to the cloud and yet to be accessed via browser only. What set of capabilities we see is good to be kept: -
end-to-end full development life-cycle (from data model, thru REST services, user interfaces, integrations, documentations, operations and monitoring) -
all the necessary tools built-in – the only toolkit needed -
usability – keep the look and feel of the regular IDEs (for us more pros than cons ;) ) -
keep the development model for building the IDE itself as it is for on premise IDE (Eclipse) leveraging
RAP (again more pros than cons for such case) -
leverage the existing mature frameworks built already wherever is applicable -
produced/target applications to follow the modern Web 2.0 and RESTfull architecture styles and what we see should to be changed: -
“the goal” – shortest development turn-around time -
development model for the target applications – content-centric, in-system programming, dynamic languages -
using of the underlying cloud platform services via injections -
scaffolding, templates, samples, debugging, specific form/wysiwyg editors at any layer to boost productivity (as IDE ≠ source code editor) -
scalability, performance, multi-user, stateless patterns, extensibility become highest priority It doesn’t mean that for us the standard Java development model is not important – just we have to focus on something we see as feasible short-term for our team. Such Java development we see complementary and can fit perfectly for the underlying
services concept (atomic services in Flare), which can be used afterwards by the higher level “business modules” in dynamic languages. As of now for them we have to use on premise IDEs and to bundle them in the Dirigible’s Runtime module or at least to deploy
them together. If you have further questions and comments we will be happy to answer and discuss. Regards, Nedelcho References: The project site:
