Inspiration
Imagine yourself one of the 100+ colleagues of the team who is launching a rocket to the Moon or rolling out enterprise-level updates over multiple systems. You have a strict plan which is already known by everyone because you performed multiple dry-runs. But the real launch is much different rather than dry-runs. And the price for a mistake might be huge: millions and millions of dollars or even human lives!
What it does
OCommodoreBot helps work on and execute Launch Plans; plus do your lessons learned for next time. It has two parts:
- WebApp - where you can prepare plans, do analysis and etc.
- Chat Bot - it participates in groups chat and organize and orchestrate actual execution of a prepared plan
How I built it
Main component is Orienteer. It's open-source and provides the required basis for building business applications like this one. Under the hood it's based on OrientDB (https://orientdb.org) - GraphDB which is being used for storing Execution Plans.
Plus Java API for Telegram has been used.
