DESCRIPTION
The OpenStack Horizon project provides a web-based User Interface to OpenStack services. It is constructed in two parts: (1) a core set of libraries for implementing a Dashboard; (2) the dashboard implementation that uses the core set of libraries. Horizon uses python django — server side technology Django is a wonderful framework, but a little dated. Pre-dates the rise in client-side and single page applications. Javascript is used for enhancing the user experience In the time since Horizon was first architected, there have been major advances in the design, and best practices for web applications. In particular, the use of more sophisticated and robust client-side javascript frameworks like BackboneJS, AngularJS, MeteorJS, have come to the fore. These applications provide a much more responsive user experience, much cleaner separation between the client and server, enable configuration driven interfaces, and facilitate more modular testing. This in turn, results in shorter development cycles, more testable software, and above all, a better user experience. In this presentation, we share some of our recent work in re-architecting parts of Horizon to take advantage of these new technologies. We discuss some of the technologies we use, our application architecture, and some of the pitfalls to avoid.

Why?
Advantages
● Clean split between server and client side
● Significantly cleaner, terser, easier to
understand client-side code
● Significant easier to improve UX
● Client- and server-side code can be
developed and tested independently
● Faster feature velocity
Better UX
Faster!
