Using more OCaml stuff - Githubissues

ElectreAAS commented 1 year ago

This is a tracking issue aimed at identifying and perhaps removing non-OCaml code in our codebase.

[ ] The frontend is currently written in Rescript. Work to move it to Dream is tracked in #317, worked on at #448
[ ] The database we use is postgresql. We could move it to say Irmin.
[ ] The frontend and database communicate using graphql. It could be done better when the above are done.
[ ] We use a lot of docker containers. Could we move to using Mirage? Probably best to work on this while implementing #446.
[ ] I've been told Hasura is there to translate graphql to/from postgresql. We could remove it if we remove both of those.
[ ] We have a small but important set of shell scripts & Makefiles. Could we do without? Or less of them?

Note: moving to irmin doesn't seem simple right now, as cobench requires mtime = 2.0 and irmin wants mtime < 2.0. We could help them move to 2.0 or work around our dependency

If we port the frontend/UI to Dream + HTML, do we still need GraphQL? I think it can be dropped.

Yes Graphql is no longer necessary in the dream PR, I'll update it to make that clearer

@ElectreAAS Dream on Mirage is possible. It is quite early and requires some more attention to keep Dream with mirage working. See https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-matrix/pull/32 and https://github.com/mirage/mirage-www/pull/805
