This spike is a proof-of-concept for replacing
jhub-client.#8468 contextualises this.
It's my view that we should split the client into two parts:
I released a package
huclto spin up a hub. It's simple, and designed to be easy to test. It's not intended to become an entire wrapper around JupyterHub's API.Jupyter is slowly converging on tooling to do (2) with kernel provisioners, e.g. https://github.com/davidbrochart/jupyter-kernel-provisioner-proxy/. This package let you use
nbclientor other tools with a remote server. However, I think for-now let's keep it simple and directly use the datalayer dep.I imagine this approach should also be applied to the JupyterHub simulator, whose role it can be to use third-party code to start / stop servers, and third-party code to run benchmarks.
