Giraffe is open and extensible. Make it your own with your apps.
Got a python script? a web api? or an excel spreadsheet?
It's easier than you think to turn them into secure, massively scalable web apps using the Giraffe front end. Here is example showing how. It makes use of a couple inspiringly simple technologies : #python flask and #GoogleCloud Run.
This project is an example of how to deploy a simple Excel powered app in Giraffe. The app takes a spreadsheet (demo/Financial Calculator.xlsx in this case), fills in the 'giraffe sections' tab with the projects data - then runs the spreadsheet and extracts the outputs specified in demo/outputs.json. It also returns the spreadsheet for download.
Giraffe apps run by placing messages on Google Cloud pubsub topic unique to that app. Each message has a temporary input_url and output_url. Apps can run as workers by subscribing to their topic. This project shows how they can run by deploying an endpoint to which the topic will push messages.
Demos
Just run a spreadsheet directly specifying input cells
python3 demo/simple.py
Run a spreadsheet based on Giraffe data
python3 demo/giraffe.py
Deploy app to Cloud Run (rerun this for subsequent deploys)
