Automated Data Analytics: A Statistical Dashboard Built with GitLab CI/CD for a Data Repository Based on CKAN

Li Fan Wang, Cheng-Jen Lee, and Tyng-Ruey Chuang

This project presents a fully automated, cost effective, and highly available statistical dashboard providing an overview of the current status of the CKAN-based data repository depositar. The dashboard is built entirely with open-source tools and is automatically refreshed daily with the help of GitLab’s CI/CD pipelines. This practice demonstrates how to automate data analytics and visualization without incurring heavy costs, offering an innovative approach to collecting status data and sharing repository insights.
