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 Kubernetes 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 DIH 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 Skyline A highly customizable developer platform that allows building scalable HA with high throughput and ultra-low latency Java applications running on Kubernetes clusters.

#	Menu	Actions
1	Administration	For users who have an ADMIN security role, this leads to the Administration menus which consist of: General Setup: Settings of IDP for enabling SSO Roles Management Resources Management Service Accounts
2	Management	Management section of SpaceDeck
3	Hosts	The menu can be used to monitor the health of the hosts to ensure that if limits are being reached, there is an opportunity to rearrange data or increase the amount of RAM or nodes
4	Spaces	Deploy and undeploy View dynamic metrics
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 View dynamic metrics and start/stop the pipeline
7	Services	Low-Code Data Service Create and execute
8	Data Queries	Perform SQL queries on the Space 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	StreamSQL	StreamSQL allows to SpaceDeck to implement a no-code (SQL) approach to define and operate with ad-hoc data flows, such as read from Kafka 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.
10	SpaceQL	SpaceQL allows SpaceDeck to perform interactive GraphQL queries.

Typical SpaceDeck Users

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

System Integrators – integrate data from Systems of Record into Smart DIH 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

This topic includes the following sections explaining SpaceDeck operations in the order they should be carried out in.
