| 3 | 4 | Tom Clegg | Arvados is currently (April 2014) ready for adventurous users to try out, but not ready for day to day production use. If you are interested in helping to *design and improve* Arvados, you can do that now. |
| 4 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
| 5 | Some components have been implemented, and we are running them in our own test/production environments. |
||
| 6 | * REST API server |
||
| 7 | * Client-side pipeline manager |
||
| 8 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * Workbench web application |
| 9 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
| 10 | 4 | Tom Clegg | Some components currently exist only as prototypes from the Free Factories predecessor project. Porting these to Arvados is one of our current development efforts. |
| 11 | 1 | Tom Clegg | * Keep server |
| 12 | * Crunch MapReduce job manager |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Some components have not been implemented yet. We think it's important to describe them to establish scope, even though they are currently vaporware. We also hope to attract early feedback. |
||
| 15 | * Lightning |
||
| 16 | * Compact genome format |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | APIs are in active development. |
||
| 19 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * REST API is getting stable but isn't at 1.0 yet. A more powerful graph API is also in development. |
| 20 | * Keep client API is stable, but system-facing API (e.g., related to garbage collection) are still in development. |
||
| 21 | * Crunch API (job task environment) is mostly stable, but containerizing workers/tasks may motivate some changes. |
||
| 22 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
| 23 | SDKs are in active development. |
||
| 24 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * Rails SDK (an ActiveRecord-like interface) is not yet packaged separately from the Workbench app. |
| 25 | * Ruby SDK is stable but lacks a native Keep client. |
||
| 26 | * Python SDK (based on the Google API client) is stable but should gain an alternative (less verbose) calling syntax and better integration of data APIs with Collections. |
||
| 27 | * Command line tool should gain an alternative (less verbose, less quoting-intensive) calling syntax. |
||
| 28 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
| 29 | Documentation is in active development. |
||
| 30 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * Tutorials and examples are continuously improved as APIs improve and stabilize |
| 31 | * Install docs are terse but functional |
||
| 32 | 1 | Tom Clegg | * API docs need to be filled in (many models are currently documented only as source code in /services/api/) |
| 33 | * Admin docs are a placeholder |
