Add a "Service Catalog" grid

[sylock]

Hi,

I'm searching for a tech stack to build a Service Catalog. It has some similarities with an e-com framework:

• you have products
• you can buy them

but with a Service Catalog, it's not fire and forget. Ordering something instantiate a new object that you can display as a user and on which you can do further operations. Generally a Service Catalog also produce monthly bills but you do not pay per product ordering.

A service catalog is useful for:

• enterprise to implement in self-service and automated way any kind of process
• making a cloud self-service interface (self-service computing for service providers)

Usually the components for it are:

• a product model
  • with a form builder/engine with strong dynamic validation frontend and backend
  • versioning
  • price
• a service catalog model with:
  • relates to a product
  • status (like: requested, active, deleted)
  • a set of actions that can be defined (delete or change)
  • a set of properties that can be defined for each product
  • a versioning system
• a workflow engine to deliver the request with a graphical representation
  • example: https://www.prefect.io/
• a reporting component
  • what you ordered
  • the consumption of active services
• a billing component
  • an organisation can save a billing system (visa, mastercard, paypal ...)
  • there is a monthly bill based on ordering
  • you have a dashboard to follow your running consumptions
  • the billing component is optional (for internal processes in enterprise, you do not need it)

An example of a commercial service catalog software: https://www.pmg.net/

I don't know if there is something in django-python?
