MariaDB Corporation Ab is a global software vendor that develops and contributes to the well-known open source MySQL database which was forked and managed by the MariaDB Foundation. The company is specializing in developing solutions arounds MariaDB server. MaxScale, a database proxy open source project which is one of the core components of MariaDB Platform helping to extend the availability, scalability and security of MariaDB Server. MaxScale provides a command line administrative client tool called maxctrl that internally uses REST API to configure MaxScale at runtime.
This thesis is established due to the need of developing an alternative solution to maxctrl which is a web browser application that operates as an admin dashboard user interface. The application should allow to configure MaxScale in a visually appealing, intuitive and user-friendly way. It will be built by using Vue.js framework along with its support plugins and libraries such as Vue Router, Vuex, Vuetify and so on.
Though this is a graphical user interface product-oriented thesis, it will not include all development processes in terms of user interface such as prototype designs, user experience designs and user story due to confidential information of the company. Therefore, the primary objectives of this thesis can be divided into three categories comprise of setting up developer’s working environment, improving MaxScale REST API for using in web application in terms of MaxScale user authentication, implementing the authentication user interface page.
