Ensemble is the platform that powers the Firefox Public Data Report, a weekly public report on the activity, behavior, and hardware configuration of Firefox Desktop users.

Ensemble fetches data from ensemble-transposer, a JSON server that adds metadata to the raw data hosted by Mozilla data engineers.

Ensemble is written in React with the help of the wonderful create-react-app tool from Facebook. See the create-react-app documentation for more information. Some highlights and some additional information are provided here.

We maintain a version number for this project. We try to update it when we deploy new code. The version number is specified in package.json.

The number looks like a semantic version number, but semver isn't suitable for applications. We instead follow this basic guideline: the first number is incremented for major changes, the second number is incremented for medium changes, and the third number is incremented for small changes.
