ElasticSearch-Logs is a tool that try to improve the Kibana logs service applied to the OpenVidu platform. It provides several facilities in order to improve the user experience.
I will be posting some entries in my Blog, so as you can follow the process of building a big app like this one
The main technologies used to build the application are the following:
- Maven to enpackage the Server.
- Angular on the Client to have the beneficts of SPA applications.
- NPM as package manager.
- NodeJs to execute JavaScript outside the browser.
- Spring Boot on the Server to manage the services.
- Elasticsearch as the main database to query data.
- Logstash to load data into the database.
- Kibana to test if the data has been loaded correctly.
- Git as version control system.
- Arch Linux as main OS due to the facilities and integrations with Docker and modern web technologies
The principal tools used to develope the application are the following:
- Intellij IDEA as Java IDE.
- Visual Studio Code as Angular code editor.
- Vim for some configuration files.
ElasticSearch-Logs uses a backend build via API REST in order to limit the users the requests that he can do. In this way, the application has some security mechanism to prevent some type of attacks. The user is thought to only read from the database (at least by the moment), so there is no need to give the user the ability to write into the database.
As a client, Angular is used in order to build a SPA (Single Page Application). This trending frontend technologie enable us to implement best user interfaces to bring a better experience. Also allow us to delegate more responsabilities in the client side, so we have less logic in the server side.
