Hey everyone! 👋🏽 Today, we officially kick off research for Project QUARK, an open-source Automatic Deployment Platform designed to make deploying our FastAPI projects seamless and automated here in 3D & Robotics lab!
🔥 Why “QUARK”?
Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of protons and neutrons in the universe, just as QUARK will be the foundation for automated deployments in our lab and beyond. We’re solving a real-world challenge—simplifying deployments for ourselves first, with a vision to open-source it for others facing the same problem!
🚀 What We’re Building:
We’ll use FastAPI for the backend and React (or Flutter for mobile UI) for the frontend. The platform will enable GitHub-based deployments, integrating Docker and Kubernetes for managing containers, with SSH automation for deployment control on remote servers.
🛠 Research Topics (In Groups of 2):
All groups will research the best Python libraries to integrate FastAPI with server resource control and deployment automation at a production level.
👥 Group Tasks:
1️⃣ Industry Research – Deployment Automation & DevOps Approaches
🔹 How do companies like Render, Vercel, and Heroku structure their deployment automation?
🔹 What best practices should we adopt for QUARK?
2️⃣ Server Resource Control Libraries & SSH Automation
🔹 Explore Fabric, Paramiko, PyInfra, Ansible, or other tools that can integrate with FastAPI for managing remote deployments over SSH.
🔹 How do these libraries compare, and which is best for QUARK?
3️⃣ Kubernetes & Docker for Deployments
🔹 How should we integrate Docker & Kubernetes into our tool for automated deployment & container orchestration?
🔹 What are the best strategies for managing FastAPI-based microservices?
4️⃣ FastAPI Webhooks & GitHub Integration
🔹 How can we trigger deployments when a GitHub repository is updated?
🔹 Research GitHub Webhooks, Actions, and FastAPI event handling for seamless CI/CD automation.
5️⃣ Frontend Architecture & User Experience
🔹 What UI/UX considerations should we make for an intuitive deployment platform?
🔹 How do existing DevOps platforms design their dashboards?
⚡ Deliverables:
Each group will present their findings with key takeaways on what tools we should use and why. This research will set the foundation for building QUARK into something powerful!
Let’s make this happen! 🚀🔥 #QUARK #Innovation #Bootcamp
We are developing QUARK, an Automatic Deployment Platform similar to Render, specifically for FastAPI-based API projects. The platform will allow users to:
✅ Connect a GitHub repository for seamless integration
✅ Deploy & manage FastAPI projects automatically
✅ Use Docker & Kubernetes for efficient containerized deployment
✅ Automate deployments via SSH on remote servers
✅ Provide a user-friendly interface to manage projects
💡 Tech Stack:
- Backend: FastAPI, Fabric/Paramiko/Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes
- Frontend: React (for JS devs) & Flutter (for possible mobile UI)
- Infrastructure: GitHub Webhooks, CI/CD, Cloud/On-Prem Deployment
