OpenPLS: A web service for performing data analysis using Partial Least Squares

Please note: This is not an officially supported Google product.

OpenPLS is a tool that lets you perform Partial Least Squares Path Modeling on datasets using a GUI interface. You can upload datasets in the form of csv file, design the model through the GUI, and then see the results.

OpenPLS was also created for a couple of other reasons:

• To show how to build cloud native apps using GCP in the JAM paradigm;
• To provide a template that you can start with to create your own applications using this paradigm.

Building the project

In order to build the project, you need the following prerequisites:

• Bash
• The gcloud command-line tool
• Terraform

You also need to pass the deploy script three pieces of information:

• A billing account ID
• A folder ID
• An OAuth Client ID which whitelists storage.googleapis.com and localhost:4000 as authorized javascript origins"

When you deploy for the first time, run deploy.sh -f <folder id> -b <billing id> -o <oauth_client_id>.

Once everything has been set up the first time, you can just run deploy.sh
