Datapillar

English | 简体中文

An Agentic ETL data development platform powered by data governance and RAG

What Datapillar Solves

• Build data development workflows with governance and AI in one platform.
• Keep metadata, lineage graph, and semantic assets synchronized across services.
• Provide a local-debug-first workflow for rapid iteration on multi-service changes.

Core Capabilities

• Metadata governance based on Datapillar Gravitino (customized from Apache Gravitino).
• Agentic ETL and workflow execution with SQL-centric development.
• OpenLineage ingestion and graph persistence for lineage/knowledge analysis.
• RAG-ready AI service with vector retrieval and SQL summary/embedding processing.
• Multi-service local startup script for full-stack debugging.

Tech Stack

Backend and Service Frameworks

• Java 21, Spring Boot 3, Spring Cloud Gateway
• Dubbo 3 (RPC communication)
• Nacos (configuration and service discovery)
• Python 3.11+, FastAPI (AI service)

Data and Compute Engines

• MySQL (business DB datapillar, metadata DB gravitino)
• Redis (gateway rate limiting, sessions, and cache)
• Neo4j (data-warehouse knowledge graph and lineage graph)
• Milvus (RAG document vector retrieval)
• Apache Flink (SQL execution)
• Datapillar Gravitino (customized extensions based on Apache Gravitino)

Frontend and Tooling

• React 19 + TypeScript + Vite
• React Router, Zustand, Tailwind CSS
• Vitest, Playwright, ESLint, Stylelint, Prettier

Technical Architecture

Local Development Quick Start (Debug)

1. Prerequisites

• JDK 21+
• Maven 3.9+
• Python 3.11+ with uv
• Node.js 20+ with npm
• Nacos 3.x (local default 127.0.0.1:8848)
• MySQL 8.x, Redis, Neo4j, Milvus

2. Start Required Dependencies

Make sure the following services are reachable locally (default ports):

• Nacos: 127.0.0.1:8848
• MySQL: 127.0.0.1:3306
• Redis: 127.0.0.1:6379
• Neo4j: 127.0.0.1:7687
• Milvus: 127.0.0.1:19530

The startup script auto-syncs config/nacos/dev/DATAPILLAR/*.yaml to Nacos (namespace=dev, group=DATAPILLAR).

3. Start Backend Services (One Command)

Run from project root:

./scripts/start-local-all.sh

For local development/debug only. Do not use this script in production.

This script compiles and starts:

• datapillar-auth (7001)
• datapillar-studio-service (7002)
• datapillar-api-gateway (7000)
• datapillar-ai (7003)
• datapillar-openlineage (7004)

Log directory:

/tmp/datapillar-logs

4. Start Frontend

cd web/datapillar-studio
npm install
npm run dev

Frontend default URL:

• http://localhost:3001

5. Stop Backend Services

./scripts/stop-local-all.sh

Module Responsibilities

• datapillar-api-gateway: API ingress, routing, assertion relay, and traffic control.
• datapillar-auth: Authentication, tenant identity, and security assertion issuing.
• datapillar-studio-service: Core business domain (tenant/workflow/invitation and studio APIs).
• datapillar-ai: AI-side orchestration, model config access, and RAG/agent runtime.
• datapillar-openlineage: OpenLineage event ingest, async task dispatch, and storage write.
• datapillar-gravitino: Datapillar-specific metadata governance and tenant-scoped extensions.

Troubleshooting (Local Debug)

• Port conflict (7000~`7004): run ./scripts/stop-local-all.sh`, then retry startup.
• Nacos sync/auth issues: verify NACOS_SERVER_ADDR, NACOS_NAMESPACE, NACOS_USERNAME, NACOS_PASSWORD in scripts/start-local-all.sh.
• Build/start failure: inspect /tmp/datapillar-logs/*.startup.log.
• Service reachable but frontend errors: verify gateway at http://localhost:7000 and frontend at http://localhost:3001.
