Create a community metrics dashboard

[stefanvodita]

Description

Beam has a rich community metrics dashboard (discussion). Would it help to have something similar?

OpenSearch Project has one https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-metrics and I'm one of the maintainer for this metrics project. Happy to drive this here and be part of this discussion :).

• Project Insights Dashboard

• Project Ops Metrics Dashboard

Thank you.

@prudhvigodithi - that's great! Your help is very welcome, I wouldn't really know where to start if I was doing this myself.

To begin with:

• A server that can run and host the metrics portal (the frontend).
• The application that will daily use the Github API to scrape the issues, pulls, contributions etc and save it to a database or any distributed service.
  • Since Github API's are limited, the best possible way is to collect daily incremental data (to begin fetching the data from last successful collection).
  • If required to use any external datasource, should be leveraging its own API's to fetch the data.
  • An existing Github bot can be used as well, either to use the bot token or push on an Github event.
• A side car (or a process in the same server) that will use the raw saved data from database or any distributed service and create the desired metrics that will be displayed by the frontend.

Thank you

That sounds like a plan! I'd be thrilled if you were driving this @prudhvigodithi - thank you for offering your help.
It would also be great to get feedback from others on which metrics they'd find most useful.

Thanks @stefanvodita and I agree with you, I would like to have the maintainers of the repo to take the initial stab at this metrics dashboard (come up the server, app, choosing the database and deploying the resources), and later as mentioned I will be happy to contribute to the dashboard design and features.
