Faros Community Edition is an open-source engineering operations platform that connects the dots between all your operational data sources for a single-pane view across the software development life cycle https://github.com/faros-ai/faros-community-edition
"There are only two ways to make money in business: One is to bundle; the other is to unbundle." - Marc Andreessen
I'm excited to see platforms building bridging layers over all the great OSS out there. This looks like an excellent bundle; I see the vision.
Faros is particularly timely for me as I look to apply DevOps and SRE best practices to the Analytics Engineering world.
Congrats on the launch--will be checking out.
@imchrisdavis thanks! appreciate your inputs here and agreed that more collaboration, not less - is the way to go! You may have noticed that DORA metrics come standard in Faros CE. What other DevOps and SRE metrics would you want to see in a platform like Faros? Curious to hear your thoughts...
@maheshiyer25 This is a great question. I'm currently writing handlers for dbt artifacts to collect metadata about job runs. That's the kind of thing that would be a great additional source for what I'm actively working on and thinking about.
Broadly speaking, the "data observability" category of the Modern Data Stack as defined by Monte Carlo and others in the space could use something like this.
@imchrisdavis thanks! Adding @shubha_nabar and @thomas_gerber1 to this thread as they may have some insights and thoughts as well. There are definitely a broad range of applications that can benefit from this capability. The ability for teams to be more data-driven brings a rational approach to making business decisions and a "apples to apples" method of comparing before and after scenarios and also understand trends! Huge value in being able to see everything in a "single-pane" view!
@maheshiyer25@imchrisdavis we agree with you that visibility into artifacts, and especially data artifacts (like ML models) is becoming more and more important. A good place to start looking is at our cicd_ namespace (esp. cicd_build, which represents "jobs"): https://community.faros.ai/graphql
And remember, you can send data to Faros CE through its GraphQL endpoint! https://community.faros.ai/docs/...
Built 100% with open-source components:
π Airbyte: Data integration platform for importing data from a variety of sources (even more sources)
π Hasura: GraphQL engine that makes your data accessible over a real-time GraphQL API
π Metabase: Business Intelligence (BI) tool for generating metrics and rendering charts and dashboards from your data
π dbt: Data transformations to convert raw data into usable metrics
π n8n: Extendable workflow automation of top of your data
and more...
Here are a few examples of embedded Faros CE dashboards from our own production Metabase instance, where we track the main open source repository Faros CE leverages. Those dashboards are tweaked versions of the canned ones. - https://community.faros.ai/docs/...
