Key Takeaways
  • Establishing a proper local development environment is critical for serious BlueCat Gateway workflow development.
  • BlueCat Labs on GitHub provides ready-made Gateway workflows that can be used as starting points and reference implementations.
  • Configuring an IDE such as PyCharm to run BlueCat Gateway locally enables faster iteration and debugging of workflows.
  • Systematic development and testing processes help identify and resolve bugs efficiently in custom Gateway workflows.
  • Applying specific workflow manipulation techniques allows engineers to adapt shared examples to their own operational requirements.
  • Following recommended tips and practices can significantly reduce development time and increase reliability of Gateway automations.

Getting started with serious development in Gateway can be a real time commitment to figure out on your own. That’s why we’ve created and shared some of our workflows in BlueCat Labs on Github to get you started.

This seventh episode of Making BlueCat Gateway Work for You explores the development process behind these workflows. It also looks at how you can more efficiently manipulate them for your needs. This episode dives into:

  • Setting up our development environment;
  • Developing, testing, and working out the bugs;
  • Setting up our IDE (PyCharm) to run the application locally; and
  • Tips to speed up the overall process.
