A library that attempts to lower the total complexity of a system by introducing a layer of objects-like-services.
Instead of the system objects to call each stage by wrapping them in functions, this library provides a layer of a bus-like system that provides the communication with each object (that acts as a kind of internal long running service). The responsibility of each of those objects is to use commands and events as a service, to provide the signals and the means programmatically and dynamically to the whole system of objects.
This library has been designed according the following principles on the service level:
- Testable
- Composable
- Configurable
- Instrumentable
- Scalable
- Updatable (TODO)
- Contexts:
Contexts are the heart of the system. They provide the necessary abstraction to allow commands to apply on them, either synchronous or asynchronous, and they provide a chainable developer experience.
- Commands:
Commands are the immutable objects that direct a change or some kind of business logic on a specific context. Commands can be modelled decoupled from their data. This allows commands to be transferred across domains when the respective bits are included in both sides.
- Events:
Events are a byproduct of a command being applied to a context. It's the resulting signals that something happens and can be followed up from other listeners.
- Graphs:
Graphs provide the composition of a system that consists from contexts. When commands applied to the graph, events flow in a consistent and predictive manner. Contexts that are connected together can react to the events and provide specific business logic depending the scenario.
- Services:
Services are an encapsulation of Graphs that can be described uniquely across a large microservices system.
- Services orchestrator:
The responsible part that orchestrates the start, stop and containment of a service.
- Application host:
The runtime connection to a process. A developer can customise it in a custom process.
