The Puccini project consists of deliberately stateless cloud topology management and deployment tools based on TOSCA.
Its primary intended use is to be incorporated into a cloud orchestration or design toolchain.
However, because Puccini can also be compiled into WebAssembly (it is written in Go), it can also be run inside a web browser. As such it could be useful for developing web-based GUI frontends, or even IDEs, that use TOSCA.
To emphasize: there is no server-side code involved in this implementation. Puccini is running entirely within the client browser.
This simple live demo can be used to validate your TOSCA with Puccini, or as the basis for a more extensive IDE.
The in-browser YAML editor is Ace.
If you use the in-browser YAML editor then your TOSCA cannot use relative imports. The reason
should be obvious: there is no base URL for this YAML text, which is provided to Puccini as if it
were stdin. Parsing from an external URL does indeed support relative imports.
Also, this demo currently does not support parsing
CSAR files, even from external URLs. The reason is that Puccini currently implements
this feature by downloading the CSAR to /tmp, which is not supported by the browser's runtime
environment. This might be improved in the future. To test your CSARs you will need to run
Puccini locally. It's small, stateless, and easy to use. Don't be scared!
Finally, there is currently no support in the demo for providing topology template inputs. We
might add this feature in the future. As a workaround, for now provide a default value for
inputs. Again, inputs are fully supported when running Puccini locally.
