StitcherAI editor plugin (VSCode)

Overview

The StitcherAI Editor is a visual editing plugin for VSCode that simplifies the process of configuring StitcherAI pipeline configurations. This plugin provides a user-friendly interface for editing pipeline configurations, making it easier to manage your FinOps workflows.

Key features

The StitcherAI Editor plugin offers the following key features:

• Visual Editing Experience: A graphical interface for editing pipeline configurations, making it easier to understand and manage complex configurations.
• Validation Criteria: The editor enforces validation criteria to ensure that configurations are correct and consistent.
• Ordering Configurations: Support for ordering configurations in a user-defined order, with automatic validation and enforcement of ordering rules.

Adding new configurations

To add a new configuration, simply right-click on any pipeline phase (displayed as folders on the left navigation) and select "Add new configuration". The editor will display the necessary configuration UI and enforce validation criteria based on the stage.

Ordering configurations

For Enhance and Allocation configurations, it is essential to define the order in which configurations are applied. To support this, StitcherAI requires configurations to be prefixed with a number that defines the order of execution. We recommend using a numbering scheme that leaves gaps (e.g., 1000_alloc_rule1.yaml, 1100_alloc_rule2.yaml) to allow for future additions without renaming files and losing file history.
