KubeEdge Dashboard Enhancement - BFF

[ghosind]

What would you like to be added?

To improve the performance of KubeEdge dashboard, we would like to introduce a BFF (Backend for Frontend) layer. It serves as a middle layer to handle the communication between the dashboard and the KubeEdge API, providing a more efficient, secure, and maintainable solution.

There are several features that we would like to implement in the BBF layer:

• Integrate with keink
• Error handling and retry
• Data pre-processing (Optional)

Why is this needed?

The BFF layer will improve the performance of KubeEdge dashboard by reducing the number of requests sent to the KubeEdge API and optimizing the data processing.

Hello @ghosind ,
I am Harshita, excited to start contributing , I have expertise in backend technologies like Node.js, Golang, and MongoDB, alongside frontend frameworks like React and Redux. I can work on this idea by leveraging my experience in designing scalable backend systems and implementing efficient APIs to develop the BFF layer for the KubeEdge dashboard. My focus will be on integrating keink, handling errors and retries seamlessly, and optimizing data pre-processing to enhance the dashboard's performance, security, and maintainability

Hi @ghosind ,
The projects sound great !! I had been working with the required technologies for almost 2 years now. Is there any pre-requisite tasks to be completed for this project ?
Thank you

Hello @ghosind ,
I am Krishi and I am interested in contributing to the BFF (Backend for Frontend) layer for the KubeEdge dashboard.
My expertise lies in Go, Node.js, Typescript, React, Docker, and API development,.
I’d like to explore how we can:

1. Optimize API calls to reduce the number of direct requests to the KubeEdge API.
2. Implement efficient caching mechanisms to improve response times.
3. Enhance error handling by introducing structured retries and fallback mechanisms.
