A .NET orchestration service for Qlik operations: cache warming, app reloads and moves, master-item handling, and impersonation, driven by a queue worker. Warms dashboards ahead of demand so the first user of the day meets a warm cache.
Almond — Qlik orchestration and cache-warming service
A .NET service that orchestrates the operational side of a Qlik estate: warming caches, reloading and moving apps, maintaining master items, and impersonating users for scoped operations. A queue worker drives the long-running jobs so the engine does its heavy lifting off the critical path.
What it does
- Cache warming runs apps ahead of demand, so the first user of the day meets a warm cache instead of a cold reload.
- App lifecycle handles reloads, app-move between streams, and master-item maintenance.
- Impersonation performs scoped operations as the correct user where the engine requires it.
- Queue-driven execution through a worker and an engine-trigger service, on both Windows and Linux builds.
Where it ran
Developed and knowledge-transferred at a major US health insurer, used at a healthcare-technology vendor, with deployment configurations for a global device manufacturer.
