Welcome to data-access-layer’s documentation!

Data Access Layer

The Data Access Layer (DAL) is an abstraction layer Library for accessing data. The data may be read/written (pending permission) from/to the followin data sources:

  • GIT

  • DB (Redis)

  • File system

The Data Service provides:

  1. Validation of user permissions before accessing the data

  2. Enforcing the appropriate JSON schema when writing data

  3. Validating compatibility between a document versions

  4. Static analysis of the metadata installed in a project - see dal/validation/README.md for documentation of every issue that can be reported, its severity and when it is triggered.

Usage

The DAL exposes APIs for reading and writing the data and is used by MOV.AI platform components. It’s a python package by message-server, backend and flow-initiator services.
