Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Deploying standalone software applications on a digital platform is tedious due to the need for re-writing code and lack of standardized compatibility, leading to inefficient integration and resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for efficient registration of software applications on a digital platform using an automated pipeline that captures application parameters and resources, classifies them into initialization and deployment resources, and determines compatibility with the platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If standalone applications are deployed on a digital platform, then resource optimization and cloud-based tracking are improved, but the integration process becomes tedious and complex
Solution Approach 1:
An automated pipeline system is introduced as an intermediary between the standalone application and the digital platform. This pipeline includes registration components that automatically capture application parameters, define resource requirements, and transmit configuration data, eliminating the need for manual code rewriting and simplifying the integration process while enabling efficient resource optimization on the platform
Solution Approach 2:
The registration process performs preliminary actions by capturing application parameters and defining resource requirements before actual deployment. The pipeline pre-configures initialization resources and deployment resources, ensuring the application is properly integrated with the digital platform before execution, thereby reducing integration complexity while maintaining productivity benefits
2Adaptability or versatility
If code is re-written for platform compatibility, then adaptability to the digital platform is improved, but development time and effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The application registration system enables self-service by automatically capturing application parameters, defining resource requirements, and configuring platform integration without requiring developers to manually rewrite code. The automated pipeline handles compatibility configuration, allowing applications to adapt to the digital platform through automatic parameter capture and resource definition rather than manual code modification
Solution Approach 2:
The registration process creates a configuration copy of the application's parameters and resource requirements that is transmitted to the digital platform. This copied configuration data enables platform compatibility without requiring changes to the original application code, thereby maintaining adaptability while reducing development time
3Reliability
If additional coding is performed for updates, then application functionality is improved, but integration speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated pipeline establishes a feedback mechanism where application parameters and resource requirements are captured during registration and stored for future updates. When updates are needed, the system references the stored configuration data and automatically adjusts the integration settings, ensuring functional improvements are maintained while avoiding repetitive manual coding and preserving integration speed
Data Source
AI summary
A system for registration of a software application on a digital platform, having one or more processors, a memory storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the processor to create a pipeline between the software application and the digital platform, wherein the pipeline provides an interface between the software application and the digital platform, define a template to capture one of more parameters of the software application, wherein the template is based on the pipeline created between the software application and the digital platform, capture the one or more parameters of the software application, wherein the one or more parameters are relating to one or more of indexing, packaging, versioning of the software application, define a resources requirement of the software application, wherein the resources are classified as initialization resources and deployment resources and the initialization resources are only created once at the registration of a software application, update the resources requirement by defining an order of creation of the resources, wherein the initialization resources are created prior to the creation of deployment resources and determine if the one or more parameters and the resources requirement of the software application are compatible with the digital platform and based on the determination, transmit the one or more parameters and the resources requirement of the software application to the digital platform, via the pipeline.
