Hobart,

There was no web version until today :-) (or the last months, if you hear
my wife). GoJS is a generic diagram framework. I added the plumbing to
convert the event stream to JSON and the Javascript code to transform the
JSON feed into operations on nodes and edges in the diagram. Looking at the
GoJS framework, it was simply begging to be used for this. Initially I
wanted to just show the topology, but soon realized things only get
interesting once the pipeline runs. I found it pretty cool to see how
startup and termination of a complicated topology actually works.

The purpose of the video is to show that I have working code, and to show
it to those who are impacted by company policy that does not let them look
at my web site but allows them to watch youtube videos ;-) I understand the
animation was fast, and I suspect the recording and the viewing is dropping
many frames as well. But I had a strong desire to do it within less than 2
minutes of video.

If you run the demo on my web site, it probably is more visible. Or I could
extend the delays in the animation. Realize that we're dealing with a few
thousand events, even for the simple cases. You probably don't want to
watch it for an hour or so.. Maybe you'd need ways to stop at specific
events (like a probe at some stage to halt with each new record or each
record that matches your selection). Or maybe a way to wind back the flow
to find where the record came from? Would you want to use the graphical
user interface to construct your pipelines?

Right now this pipeline is secured with tie-wraps to the wall, and it would
take some effort to package it properly. In this form it is probably not
very useful yet. But maybe there are aspects that would have made it easier
for you to learn CMS Pipelines. Or maybe an apprentice plumber who is eager
to participate and help make this useful.
