Quickstart

System Prequisites

Before you begin you'll need the following on your system:

  • Node >= 20 (we suggest installing with nvm)
  • pnpm >= 9 (see here)
  • Python >=3.11 (see here)
  • Python Poetry >= 1.8 (see here)
  • git (see here)
  • BigQuery access (see here if you don't have it setup already)
  • gcloud (see here)

Setup dependencies

First, authenticate with gcloud:

gcloud auth application-default login

Then install Node.js dependencies

pnpm install

Also install the python dependencies

poetry install

You will also need to setup dbt to connect to Google BigQuery for running the data pipeline. The following wizard will copy a small playground dataset to your personal Google account and setup dbt for you.

poetry run oso_lets_go

:::tip The script is idempotent, so you can safely run it again if you encounter any issues. :::

Frontend Development

Setup and build the frontend

First, make sure the environment variables are set for ./apps/frontend. Take a look at ./apps/frontend/.env.local.example for the complete list.

  • You can either set these yourself (e.g. in CI/CD)
  • or copy the file to .env.local and populate it.

Then do a turbo build of all apps, run the following:

pnpm install
pnpm build

The resulting static site can be found in ./build/.

Running the prod server

If you've already run the build, you can use pnpm serve to serve the built files

Running the frontend dev server

To run a dev server that watches for changes across code and Plasmic, run:

pnpm dev:frontend

dbt Development

Our datasets are public! If you'd like to use them directly as opposed to adding to our dbt models, checkout our docs!

Using the poetry environment

Once installation has completed you can enter the poetry environment.

$ poetry shell

From here you should have dbt on your path.

$ which dbt

This should return something like opensource-observer/oso/.venv/bin/dbt

Authenticating to bigquery

If you have write access to the dataset then you can connect to it by setting the opensource_observer profile in dbt. Inside ~/.dbt/profiles.yml (create it if it isn't there), add the following:

opensource_observer:
  outputs:
    production:
      type: bigquery
      dataset: oso
      job_execution_time_seconds: 300
      job_retries: 1
      location: US
      method: oauth
      project: opensource-observer
      threads: 32
    playground:
      type: bigquery
      dataset: oso_playground
      job_execution_time_seconds: 300
      job_retries: 1
      location: US
      method: oauth
      project: opensource-observer
      threads: 32
  # By default we target the playground. it's less costly and also safer to write
  # there while developing
  target: playground

Setting up VS Code

The Power User for dbt core extension is pretty helpful.

You'll need the path to your poetry environment, which you can get by running

poetry env info --path

Then in VS Code:

  • Install the extension
  • Open the command pallet, enter "Python: select interpreter"
  • Select "Enter interpreter path..."
  • Enter the path from the poetry command above

Check that you have a little check mark next to "dbt" in the bottom bar.

Running dbt

Once you've updated any models you can run dbt within the poetry environment by simply calling:

$ dbt run

:::tip Note: If you configured the dbt profile as shown in this document, this dbt run will write to the opensource-observer.oso_playground dataset. :::

It is likely best to target a specific model so things don't take so long on some of our materializations:

$ dbt run --select {name_of_the_model}

Reference Playbooks

For setup and common operations for each subproject, navigate into the respective directory and check out the README.md.

You can also find some operations guides on our documentation.
