We started 3-4 months ago completely new to Python and Vue, let alone some of the peripheries in support. We settled on Vue.js a reactive SPA framework and the combination of the thread-aware Python back-end with Flask inter-operation really works for us. Seems to us Django would have made a good choice if we had a content-heavy obligation. For the front-end we did not like the typical Python GUI’s and ruled out Django because our requirements called for a nimble app-like UI instead of content-heavy interactions. When we saw how fast and easily we can consume API’s job done and we continued with a Python only back-end. Fortunately we started experimenting with Python because we needed the smarts brought by Pandas dataframes with binning. Since we were steep many, many years in Java/C# et al it was our early choice. To get back to why Python? Initially we were looking for rapid development utilizing the REST API layer provided by Smartsheet. We did not stop there and proceeded with a complimentary archive solution and innovative export facility. This way, restore is a doddle and a near identical copy is guaranteed – all this of course under full/incremental backup control. Our Solution, SMARTBACKUP carve of a portion within Smartsheet called the Vault and then proceed to backup within. In reality the things that makes up a Smartsheet-sheet effectively are not backed up. Reason being that by enlarge only the data is backed up leaving all of the formatting, formulas, cell links automation rules etc. A Sheet within Smartsheet is a multi-faceted object which loses about 60% plus of its recoverable functionality once backed up outside Smartsheet via Smartsheet facilities. However, the answer lies in what it is solving for. I hear you, as if the world needs another backup solution. We saw a gap in securing Smartsheet data and build a product called SMARTBACKUP( ) in Python. Introducing us – AcuWorkflow ( ), a niche company offering services around Smartsheet. It is mainly used for collaborative work management around Project or Sales using a multi-user sheet-like environment or if you like “Excel on steroids” The new normal for us is moving beyond the traditional Python practices, meaning we doĬ) Python for Enterprise grade back-end instead of Java or C#Įnter Smartsheet( ) a well-respected Enterprise Platform used by 75% of Fortune 100 Companies. I know, may not make sense immediately, but it does. Using Python for commercial cloud backup.
