sayou-visualizer 0.1.4

Visualizer components for the Sayou Data Platform

sayou-visualizer

Overview

The Interactive Observability Engine for Sayou Fabric.

sayou-visualizer provides transparency to the "Black Box" of data pipelines. It transforms invisible execution logs and complex graph data structures into intuitive, interactive 3D Holographic Knowledge Graphs.

It serves two distinct purposes: Pipeline Telemetry (Debugging flow) and Knowledge Rendering (Showcasing data topology).

1. Architecture & Role

The Visualizer operates as a separate layer that can attach to a running pipeline (Tracer) or read static data (Renderer) to generate HTML artifacts.

1.1. Core Features

• Non-Intrusive Monitoring: Attaches to any Sayou pipeline via the callback system to visualize execution flow without modifying code.
• Deterministic Layout: Uses physics-based rendering (Cytoscape/Force-Graph) to reveal clusters and outliers in your data.
• Interactive Inspection: Click on nodes to inspect raw attributes, source code, or relationships in real-time.

2. Available Strategies

sayou-visualizer offers specialized views depending on who is looking at the data.

Strategy Key	Target Audience	Description
tracer	Data Engineer	Visualizes the Pipeline Execution Flow (DAG). Shows which components triggered which tasks.
analyst	QA / Researcher	2D Analytic View. Focuses on strict schema validation, attribute inspection, and debugging specific relationships.
showcase	Stakeholder	3D Holographic View. A visually stunning, high-performance renderer for presenting the scale and topology of the Knowledge Graph.

3. Installation

pip install sayou-visualizer

4. Usage

The VisualizerPipeline is the entry point. You can use it to render existing graph files or attach it to live pipelines.

Case A: Rendering a Knowledge Graph (3D Showcase)

Visualizes the output of sayou-assembler as an interactive 3D galaxy.

from sayou.visualizer import VisualizerPipeline

viz = VisualizerPipeline()

kg_file_path = "./output/graph_data.json"

viz.process(
    source=kg_file_path,
    destination="./output/report_showcase.html",
    strategy="showcase"
)

print("Report generated. Open 'report_showcase.html' in your browser.")

Case B: Debugging Graph Data (2D Analyst)

Generates a detailed 2D view for inspecting node attributes and edge types.

viz.process(
    source=kg_file_path,
    destination="./output/report_analyst.html",
    strategy="analyst"
)

Case C: Pipeline Tracing (Live Monitoring)

Attaches to a running Connector pipeline to visualize the crawling process.

from sayou.connector import ConnectorPipeline
from sayou.visualizer import VisualizerPipeline

connector = ConnectorPipeline()

viz = VisualizerPipeline()
viz.attach_to(connector)

connector.process(source="https://news.daum.net/tech", strategy="web")

viz.report("pipeline_trace.html")

5. Configuration Keys

Customize the visual appearance via the config dictionary.

• showcase: node_color_by (e.g., class), particle_speed, background_color.
• analyst: layout_algorithm (dagre/concentric), show_attributes (bool).
• tracer: include_data_payload (bool), max_events.
