TRAC D.A.P. common library, interfaces and utilities used across all TRAC components
A next-generation data and analytics platform for use in highly regulated environments
TRAC D.A.P. brings a step change in performance, insight, flexibility and control compared to conventional analytics platforms. By redrawing the boundary between business and technology, modellers and business users are given easy access to modern, open source tools that can execute at scale, while technology integrations and operational concerns are cleanly separated and consolidated across use cases.
At the core of a platform, a flexible metadata model allows data and models to be catalogued, plugged together and shared across the business. Using the principal of immutability, TRAC allows new data structures and model pipelines to be created, updated and executed at any time without change risk to production workflows, guaranteeing total repeatability, audit and control (TRAC).
Documentation for the TRAC platform is available on our website at tracdap.finos.org.
The following packages are available:
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| Model runtime for Python | Build models and test them in a sandbox, ready to deploy to the platform |
| Web API package | Build client apps in JavaScript or TypeScript using the TRAC platform APIs |
| Platform releases | Packages for the platform services and a standalone sandbox are published with each release on GitHub |
The current release series (0.4.x) is intended for model development and prototyping. It provides an end-to-end workflow to build and run individual models in a local environment. It also provides the platform APIs needed to build client applications such as web tools or system client system integrations.
The TRAC metadata structures and API calls are mostly complete. Metadata compatibility is ensured within a release series starting from version 0.4.0 - the 0.4.x series will be compatible with 0.4.0 but changes may be introduced in 0.5.0. The metadata model will continue to stabilise before eventually being frozen for version 1.0.0, after which it may be added to but no fields will be removed or changed.
For more information see the development roadmap.
With TRAC D.A.P. you can build and run production-ready models right on your desktop! All you need is an IDE, Python and the tracdap-runtime Python package. TRAC D.A.P. requires Python 3.8 or later.
The modelling tutorial shows you how to get set up and write your first models. You can write models locally using an IDE or notebook, once the model is working t can be loaded to the platform without modification. TRAC D.A.P. will validate the model and ensure it behaves the same on-platform as it does locally. Of course, the production platform will allow for significantly greater data volumes and compute power!
A full listing of the modelling API is available in the model API reference.
TRAC D.A.P. is designed for easy installation in complex and controlled enterprise environments. The tracdap-platform package is available with each release on our release page and includes a pre-built distribution of each of the platform services and supporting tools, suitable for deploying in a container or on physical or virtual infrastructure. All the packages are platform-agnostic.
A sandbox version of the platform is also available for quick setup in development, testing and demo scenarios. The tracdap-sandbox package is available with each release on our release page and instructions are available in the sandbox quick start guide in our documentation.
We have used the excellent tools from JetBrains to build TRAC D.A.P. After you fork and clone the repository you can open the project in IntelliJ IDEA and use the script dev/ide/copy_settings.sh (Linux/macOS) or dev\ide\copy_settings.bat (Windows) to set up some helpful IDE config, including modules for the non-Java components, run configurations, license templates etc. If you prefer another IDE that is also fine, you may wish to set up a similar set of config in which case we would welcome a PR.
