Linkis builds a computation middleware layer to facilitate connection, governance and orchestration between the upper applications and the underlying data engines.
Linkis builds a layer of computation middleware between upper applications and underlying engines. By using standard interfaces such as REST/WS/JDBC provided by Linkis, the upper applications can easily access the underlying engines such as MySQL/Spark/Hive/Presto/Flink, etc., and achieve the intercommunication of user resources like unified variables, scripts, UDFs, functions and resource files at the same time.
As a computation middleware, Linkis provides powerful connectivity, reuse, orchestration, expansion, and governance capabilities. By decoupling the application layer and the engine layer, it simplifies the complex network call relationship, and thus reduces the overall complexity and saves the development and maintenance costs as well.
Since the first release of Linkis in 2019, it has accumulated more than 700 trial companies and 1000+ sandbox trial users, which involving diverse industries, from finance, banking, tele-communication, to manufactory, internet companies and so on. Lots of companies have already used Linkis as a unified entrance for the underlying computation and storage engines of the big data platform.

Please go to the Linkis Releases Page to download a compiled distribution or a source code package of Linkis.
For more detailed guidance see:
Note: If you want use `-Dlinkis.build.web=true` to build linkis-web image, you need to compile linkis-web first.
## compile backend
### Mac OS/Linux
# 1. When compiling for the first time, execute the following command first
./mvnw -N install
# 2. make the linkis distribution package
# - Option 1: make the linkis distribution package only
./mvnw clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true
# - Option 2: make the linkis distribution package and docker image
# - Option 2.1: image without mysql jdbc jars
./mvnw clean install -Pdocker -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true
# - Option 2.2: image with mysql jdbc jars
./mvnw clean install -Pdocker -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dlinkis.build.with.jdbc=true
# - Option 3: linkis distribution package and docker image (included web)
./mvnw clean install -Pdocker -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dlinkis.build.web=true
# - Option 4: linkis distribution package and docker image (included web and ldh (hadoop all in one for test))
./mvnw clean install -Pdocker -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dlinkis.build.web=true -Dlinkis.build.ldh=true -Dlinkis.build.with.jdbc=true
### Windows
mvnw.cmd -N install
mvnw.cmd clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true
## compile web
cd linkis/linkis-web
npm install
npm run buildDue to the MySQL licensing restrictions, the MySQL Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver is not bundled with the
official released linkis image by default. However, at current stage, linkis still relies on this library to work properly.
To solve this problem, we provide a script which can help to creating a custom image with mysql jdbc from the official
linkis image by yourself, the image created by this tool will be tagged as linkis:with-jdbc by default.
$> LINKIS_IMAGE=linkis:1.3.1
$> ./linkis-dist/docker/scripts/make-linikis-image-with-mysql-jdbc.shPlease refer to Quick Deployment to do the deployment.
- The documentation of linkis is in Linkis-Website Git Repository
- Meetup videos on Bilibili
Linkis services could be divided into three categories: computation governance services, public enhancement services and microservice governance services
- The computation governance services, support the 3 major stages of processing a task/request: submission -> preparation -> execution
- The public enhancement services, including the material library service, context service, and data source service
- The microservice governance services, including Spring Cloud Gateway, Eureka and Open Feign
Below is the Linkis architecture diagram. You can find more detailed architecture docs in Linkis-Doc/Architecture.
Contributions are always welcomed, we need more contributors to build Linkis together. either code, or doc, or other supports that could help the community.
