Overview
What is Solvent-Configr
Solvent-Configr is a configuration platform and environment for teams. Solvent-Configr uses object graphs instead of static file formats (JSON,YAML,XML..etc) to provide powerful capabilities not possible using conventional configuration approaches.
Beyond obvious applications of configuration such as those we are used to seeing being expressed in YAML, JSON, XML..etc, virtually anything can be modeled as an object, it turns out having a robust object construction platform such as Solvent-Configr lends itself to applications for many other solutions.
Solvent-Configr is so powerful that it forms the basis for the Solvent-Lowcodr platform for building low code web application development solutions.
Object Graphs
Solvent-Configr is based on an object graph technology which allows a user to construct object graphs of any complexity or composition. Solvent-Configr can be used for everything from DevOps, ML, product catalogs, taxonomy creation...etc
Solvent-Configr object graphs can be integrated directly into Solvent applications. For instance a developer can use an object graph representing a product catalog to populate an e-commerce site. Because the construction of object graphs isn't based on any particular syntax, non-technical users can work side-by-side technical people, allowing all parties to contribute to the creation of products/services on a single platform.
Note that Solvent-Configr is a product built on top of the Solvent-WebApps product platform, specifically, Solvent-Configr is based on the Smart Object feature of the Solvent platform. This means Solvent-Configr objects can be seamlessly integrated into Solvent-WebApps application code/logic to power all sorts of solutions.
Managing Hierarchical Configuration
Whether you're doing DevOps,Machine Learning or Web development, chances are you maintain configuration in the form of hierarchical formats (JSON, YAML, XML..etc), a key design goal for many hierarchical information formats is to strike a good balance between machine readability (parsing) and human readability.
Unfortunately no matter how human readable these formats are, they quickly become a challenge to deal with once the structure of the information becomes complex. Editing complex JSON or YAML files is a challenge. Through its hyper-navigation capabilities, Solvent-Configr provides a number of features to make managing and working with complex hierarchical information very easy.
Object Editing IDE
At it's core, Solvent-Configr object graphs are just a bunch of Solvent smart objects calling other smart objects; in other words objects having references to other objects, thus forming an object graph. The resulting evaluation of smart of objects are plain-old-java-objects (POJOs).
Solvent-Configr turns the standard IDE of the Solvent platform into an object manipulation environment. In other words while files and folders are the core artifacts of the standard IDE environment, objects are the core artifacts of the Solvent-Configr environment.
A note about pricing
This listing uses an AWS instance-sizing based pricing model. In other words you pay for bulk user license based on pricing on the Codesolvent site. The per user price is converted to hourly consumption per month, ie 30days is ~720hrs, so per user license listed price divided by 720 gives the per hour usage price listed in the AWS marketplace
t2.small - sized for 5 concurrent users at listed price per user t2.medium - sized for 10 concurrent users at listed price per user t2.large - sized for 20 concurrent users at listed price per user
Highlights
- Based on Object Graphs, not data formats. URL Addressable Objects. Powerful Schema Support.
- For Teams (Centralize & Collaborate). Human Friendly, with hyper-navigation.
- Fully Programmable (not templates). Any Output (JSON, YAML, XML...etc)

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
-Fixed radkit creation to support adding properties to component definitions when doing bulk creation. -Updated AI module config with radix ui tags

-
Change password and manage additional users as described in product video
When using instance type smaller than recommended (t2.medium)
If you use t2.small, the product might start with an error because there is not enough memory to run the product and the OS. By default the OS is allocated 1.5GB and that leaves only 500MB for Solvent-Configr, which is not enough. To change the amount of memory reserved for the OS, ie to increase the amount of memory Solvent-Configr can use:
- Go to directory: /home/ubuntu/solvent/bin
- Edit: solvent-platform.sh
- Find the bash variable: reserved_memory
- Set your preferred reserved memory that should be left for the OS.
