Managing Elasticsearch Reindex at Scale: Performance, Reliability, and Observability
Editor’s Note: This is the fourth post in a series exploring how Palantir customizes infrastructure software for reliable operation at scale. The following is a guest contribution to the Foundations series from the Gotham Core Platform organization, which builds and maintains the bedrock for mission-critical applications within the Gotham ecosystem. This blog post by Kevin Liang, a backend developer based in CA, highlights the design considerations and improvements made to the Elasticsearch reindex machinery — which broadly aims to provide an easy-to-use, performant, reliable, and observable way to repair and rebuild search indices for backend applications. The goal of this post is two-fold: share our design decisions and learnings with the broader technical community, and shed light on what a typical project looks like for a systems-leaning backend engineer working in Gotham Core Platform at Palantir. Search is one of the most heavily used workflows across Palantir Gotham.
Using the filtering feature in AIP Studio
Hi, there! If a user requests that aip studio filter values based on specific conditions, how can I ensure that the output object set linked to the application state is updated with the filtered objects? Has anyone tried making this before? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Show & Tell: Auto-Converting Workshop Dashboards to Live React Apps
All, I wanted to share a cool internal tool we recently built at Object Edge to accelerate our custom frontend development on top of Foundry. We often find that while Workshop is a fantastic operational assistant for internal workflows, we frequently need to build custom user interfaces in React for external use cases. To speed up our development cycle, we created an extension that takes a Workshop layout and automatically generates a React application. Here is the post on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/object-edge_turn-a-palantir-workshop-into-a-live-react-activity-7468739348956585984-SWFX?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAM4KkBnKmkKO8C-_xYyUEQdslmweIqodk Here is a quick look at how it works: The extension grabs the active Workshop ID and your Foundry environment URL. With one click, it translates the UI components (like pie charts, bar charts, and data tables) into a React codebase. It automatically wires up the connecti
Relative date value
In ontology, I’d like to have an action to set a date property and have it automatically calculate into a second date property with an (X+2 week) result. Additionally, I’d like to be able to manually adjust the result property if I don’t want the X+2 week default. Any ideas? 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Untrusted server certificate in Deep Dive: Creating Your First Data Connection
HI, While following the tutorial for Data Connection: Relational Database of ‘Deep Dive: Creating Your First Data Connection’, I encountered an ‘Untrusted server certificate’ error when trying to execute ‘Explore and import Source data to a Foundry dataset’. Could you please advise on how to resolve this matter? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Application landscape of Foundry
Can someone show or prepare a practical application landscape of Palantir Foundry? I am looking for a real map of Foundry apps, not an abstract marketing diagram. Ideally, it should show Ontology in the center, pipelines/integration tools below, and operational apps like Workshop and others above. Text and picture versions are welcome. I want to understand: which apps are core, default for common tasks and should be learned first; which one are more advanced; where apps overlap; which ones are newer or legacy; how they are interconnected. thank you! 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
restore trashed space or help in permanently deleting the space
I am unable to delete the trashed space because it contains projects, which is fine, but I don’t see the option to untrash it so I can follow the proper steps. Any guidance on how to resolve this? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Workshop Variables
I really like Workshop. It’s incredibly powerful, the UI options produce clean apps, and I’m genuinely proud of the dashboards I build here. But there is one thing I absolutely cannot get the hang of: the Workshop Variable system. Coming from a traditional repository code background, I’m used to organizing my logic neatly into folders and separate files. Trying to manage Workshop Object Sets, UI variables, and Custom Functions all in one flat list feels like complete chaos as a newbie. Right now, the chain of actions hurts my brain: I have to create an Object Set, add a filter to it, create an aggregation variable to count the rows, and then link that to a KPI card. To fight this “variable fatigue,” I’ve started using a single TypeScript Custom Function to handle all my KPI calculations on the backend just to keep my Workshop variable panel clean. It feels like a solid workaround, but is it a bad architectural practice? I really want to master Workshop! Does anyone have any pro-t
