Integrate Vizceral for visualization and simulation

[hvandenb]

Netflix just released Vizceral which provides a visualization framework for graph data. Additionally, it show the flow data.

Possible opportunities:

• Visualize the architecture
• Simulation flows
• Chaos Monkey simulations and visualizing

Things to do:

• Conversion of the Vizceral JSON format. This defines the topology and metrics
• Simulation integration

Reference:

The component takes a simple JSON definition of graph data (nodes and connections) with some metrics and handles all of the rendering.

Step one, write a go package (separate project) that can generate the Vizceral JSON format Step two, write vizceral json from spigo Step three, hook up vizceral as the UI for a running spigo simulation to show real time effects Step four, profit!

I'm about to go on some long plane flights, so might end up having time to do some coding...

starting some initial work around being able to generate the JSON format using the existing tooling approach.

I wrote a package to interface to vizceral, published it as a separate project from spigo although it can also convert to spigo arch format. First rough code - builds and runs is at https://github.com/adrianco/go-vizceral
