The choice of technology architecture is closely related to enterprise strategy, business processes, project effectiveness, etc. It is an important part of the R&D process. The complete technology process includes determining the requirements, filtering within the range of ptions, finding suitable projects, installing and experiencing. However, once the requirements are identified, the installation and screening process can also be time-consuming and labor-intensive, which has become a major pain point in technology selection. How to save time, optimize the trial process of open source projects, and improve the efficiency of choosing the technology pattern has become a common issue for many developers.
Traditional way to try an open-source project
Tyk is an open source API gateway project. Organizations can control access to the gateway and protect the security of enterprises and organizations. To start with, I chose the traditional way, using docker-compose to install it, which requires the Git and Docker environment on the computer.
Follow the prompt steps and copy the DOCKER COMPOSE repository address to the command line.
Deploy TYK gateway and REDIS.
Waiting for the pull to complete.
After about two minutes, the project was successfully installed.
One-click cloning experience with Tin
Tin is a one-click POC tool from TeamCode platform that automatically builds and quickly generates execuatble applications, automatically configures the project operating environment, avoids cumbersome processes to install and manage dependencies, and allows open-source projects to be used and spread more easily.
Click Clone, it succeeds immediately, click Run now.
In a few seconds, the gateway project is created.
Find the URL port in the overview interface to access the project interface.
The entire process is very simple and easy to operate, and it takes a very short time, which is really convenient and fast. Especially for some projects that take dozens of minutes and various types of middleware to be built, the access of Tin reduces the threshold for using open source projects and allows them to be tested by users very quickly. At the same time, for companies and development teams, Tin can help them to decide their technology architecture and improve R&D efficiency.
Summary
In short, many open source project communities are still collaborating and communicating based on traditional source code and documentation. The TeamCode platform provides a higher level of communication. For example, in addition to code sharing, you can include code. All software and hardware resources, dependencies, and configurations required for operation are packaged and shared together. When communicating an error, it's no longer a text description or image, but the entire error page (code + environment) can be shared via links, which allows you to accurately reproduce the error and debug efficiently. In this way, development teams can collaborate remotely and develop efficiently with other members anywhere anytime.
