Overview

Page with random cool ideas about improvements in VDK that we are not sure to have a real market potential (need) or are not ready enough to create well-described GitHub issue . Those are good ideas for hackatons or similar events.

Ideas

VDK IDE with Spyder

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder

Spyder is a free and open-source scientific environment written in Python, for Python, and designed by and for scientists, engineers and data analysts. It's also extensible, so maybe we can create a few plugins for spyder to make it easier to develop, run, manage vdk jobs . It may go nicely with jupyter notebooks (you can run notebooks inside spyder)

Event Sensor

Extensible (publish/subscribe) service where you can install plugins (python?) which act as sensor for events And if it detects something it will trigger output plugin (e.g webhook being the simplest). It should be based on async io paradigm or similar and scale to huge number of events.

A lot of people now use lambda functions for that but what if you don't have AWS account or money or you are in closed enterprise environment. There does not seem to be some kind of lightweight sensor service . Airflow supports sensors but a lot of people opt out of it (one organization used lambda instead) because it's too heavy - you create a whole new "job" (process or container) just to check the status.
