AWS Blu Insights offers a set of services that we deliberately built as independent building blocks. For example, when users create a Codebase project, a component called Generic Analysis will be in charge of gathering basic metrics (lines of code, effective lines, comment lines, total number of lines...).
Based on the uploaded files properties, other components like Classification will be proposed. Besides, users will have then the possibility to launch the Dependencies component and so on and so forth. Doing so, users see the initial codebase and then incrementally see the generated insights upon requests.
This is important to understand the workflow and the generated results, especially during the assessment phase. However, when you have been trained or have been using Blu Insights for months or years, the process becomes mechanical 🥱 with almost no added value and without thinking about the sequence for a second. In addition, as the components become more and more mature, the quality of the insights is high and manual fine-tuning is rarely required.
Do you know how many clicks you perform to get your first Transformation Run? A lot, we know 😳! 25 is the right answer: b to get a ready-for-assessment Codebase project and 11 clicks to get the outputs of your first Transformation Center Run. We heard users say “Hey BI team, make those clicks for me and let me focus on things that matter more.” and we did it.
We are pleased to announce the release of Blu Insights Builder 🥳 a new wizard to let you go from archive upload to outputs download in 1 unique and basic step ⚡.
Drop an archive to Blu Insights and let it do the job. It will automatically perform the following actions without any required manual intervention:
- Create the Codebase project
- Launch the Classification
- Launch the Cyclomatic Complexity
- Launch the Dependencies
- Create a Transformation Center project (if the user’s role allows them to)
- Launch a Run with all inputs and the latest Velocity version (only to get the weather report - no outputs - no billing)
Does it mean that you will always click once and get all done? The answer is “Yes, in most cases!”. But keep in mind that you can iterate over the results using the different features. For example, Manage Types, Manage Extensions, Graph Operations, etc. to get the expected results that fit your needs and requirements.
We give you back dozens of minutes per project. You are welcome. Enjoy 😊
