Overview

GigaSpaces SpaceDeckClosed GigaSpaces intuitive, streamlined user interface to set up, manage and control their environment. Using SpaceDeck, users can define the tools to bring legacy System of Record (SoR) databases into the in-memory data grid that is the core of the GigaSpaces system. is an intuitive, streamlined user interface to manage and control the GigaSpaces environment.

Using SpaceDeck, you can define the tools to bring legacy System of Record (SoR) databases into the in-memory data grid that is the core of the GigaSpaces system.

SpaceDeck has the following advantages:

  • No-code functionality – the environment can be set up and monitored using the user-friendly SpaceDeck screens, eliminating the need for writing or customizing code

  • The ability for you to create and execute low-code SQL micro-services.

  • A full complement of data and system monitoring tools.

SpaceDeck does not yet cover all functionality of our previous UIs. Refer to the Platform Feature Access page which explains which of our UIs manage each of our main platform operations. SpaceDeck is part of our XAP Skyline and Smart DIH KubernetesClosed An open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. installations.

Main Screen

The SpaceDeck main screen is described below for Smart DIHClosed Smart DIH allows enterprises to develop and deploy digital services in an agile manner, without disturbing core business applications. This is achieved by creating an event-driven, highly performing, efficient and available replica of the data from multiple systems and applications, and XAP SkylineClosed A highly customizable developer platform that allows building scalable HA with high throughput and ultra-low latency Java applications running on Kubernetes clusters.

5 Data Sources Choose which databases to import to the IMDG. These data sources will be used to configure the data pipeline.
6 Data Pipeline

Choose which tables and fields to use

8 Data Queries Perform SQL queries on the SpaceClosed Where GigaSpaces data is stored. It is the logical cache that holds data objects in memory and might also hold them in layered in tiering. Data is hosted from multiple SoRs, consolidated as a unified data model. or pipeline data
9 Stream SQL StreamSQL allows to SpaceDeck to implement a no-code (SQL) approach to define and operate with ad-hoc data flows, such as read from KafkaClosed Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform. Apache Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system. A message is any kind of information that is sent from a producer (application that sends the messages) to a consumer (application that receives the messages). Producers write their messages or data to Kafka topics. These topics are divided into partitions that function like logs. Each message is written to a partition and has a unique offset, or identifier. Consumers can specify a particular offset point where they can begin to read messages. and write directly to Space or read from one Kafka topic and write to another Kafka topic.

Typical SpaceDeck Users

SpaceDeck can be used by various user types ("personas") as follows:

System Integrators – integrate data from Systems of Record into Smart DIHClosed Digital Integration Hub. An application architecture that decouples digital applications from the systems of record, and aggregates operational data into a low-latency data fabric., using data pipelines

Data Engineers – study the data unified in a Space using data queries. Integrate data from Systems of Record into Smart DIH, using data pipelines

System Admins – manage day-to-day operations of the system; inspect and monitor its components
