Kedro: [KED-1148] Kedro-Server

[yetudada]

Description

Kedro-Server is a RESTful API for Kedro pipelines allowing you to:

• Trigger a pipeline run using a platform or code agnostic post request
• Get requests on execution status or progress
• Get requests on pipelines available to run
• Trigger tests or linting from other applications or browsers

Context

Our users have struggled with two things:

• Determining the status of Kedro runs beyond looking at logs,
• And, triggering pipeline runs from a front-end when a different language is required.

These changes will have implications for kedro-viz, our data pipeline visualisation plugin.

Hi Guys,

This looks very exciting and main page already mentions "Coming soon". Any thoughts on when we can have a chance to give it a try?

Hi @BartekSzpak , apologies for the delayed response!! We're in the process of exposing this to our internal users to get targeted feedback to iterate on, so you could say we're in "beta" phase. Timelines are hard to judge at this point, but my guess is it'll be another couple of months at least? @yetudada can keep me honest here.

The alpha release of Kedro-Server goes live this week @BartekSzpak! We'll get focussed user testing to get this one out sooner and will update you here when we're ready for the beta open-source release.

@yetudada Great work! This is a feature I have really been looking forward to use; it will make building applications for clients so much easier!
