Project description/ draft


Cloud-based IDE

Base functionality:


  • Web-based code editor
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Server-side simple compilation/interpretation
  • Simple per-file versioning
  • Base languages: C/C++ (Linux), Python, Ruby, Java
Compatibility: Most modern browsers with HTML5 support (possibly iOS, Android)

Default features:

  • Project management
    • Basic project creation, project code compression and export
    • Source version-control:
      • Basic tagging
      • Multiple files version’s grouping into one commit
  • Project compilation
    • Automatic make file generation based on configuration
  • Project code search/ replace

Additional features:

  • Code auto-completion
  • Class, object explorer(IDE tracks object’s attributes and methods for hinting, overview)
  • Code import:
    • GIT (DVCS/SVN) repository import
      Base: without commits and history
Additional: with versioning

    • Tar/Zip project import
  • Simple code deployment:
    • SSH/SFTP upload, i.e. website deployment onto production server.

Unlikely functionality:

  • Simple debugging/ application memory usage (profiling)
  • File multi-access with automatic conflict resolvement(File editing by multiple users at the same time with code changes being pushed/updated live on different clients)
  • MinGW Windows compilation
  • Code deployment

System architecture




Each system will be designed to run on separate machines/ set of machines



Research

Researched questions/ topics

  • Cloud based application design and architecture differences in comparison with traditional applications
  • Current application requirements (i.e. redundancy, scalability)
  • Deployment, running process, requirements

Possible thesis:

  • Cloud-based applications should be designed as self-sufficient application units (to achieve flexibility, scalability, application development parallelism) which are grouped into systems.
