ÆGIS

See the aegis-host repo for documentation and a working example of a federation server.

Consolidate your microservices

(by running them together in a single process)

• for decreased footprint,
• better performance and
• simpler operations

without loosing

• deployment independence,
• language independence
• or component independence (i.e. components remain decoupled)

Or distribute your components

(across a self-forming service mesh)

• dynamically and adaptively
• outside the datacenter and beyond the edge

with

• non-functional, boilerplate code done for you
  • dynamically generated APIs and datasources
  • transparent integration and persistence
  • AI inference against streaming data in real time (AIoT)
  • dedicated thread pools supporting CPU-bound workloads
  • shared memory for efficient processing across threads
  • fast streaming using QUIC protocol and async I/0
  • in-process, self-forming service mesh supporting data federation and other application services.
  • autonomous self-administration (e.g. CA certs provisioned/renewed programmatically)
  • exhaustive portability: Aegis can run as a server, cluster, or serverless function, in the datacenter, at the edge, and beyond (browser, phone, drone, pi, eventually arduino)
• and capabilities that enhance the development experience
  • comprehensive, rapid deployment (deploy in seconds to any compute primitive: serverless, container, IoT, etc)
  • runtime binding and hot reload (e.g. add new functionality on the fly, switch from on-prem to cloud live)
  • zero downtime, zero installation, independent deployment--even for components running in the same process
  • Polyglot, portable, containerless, sandboxed, AoT-compiled modules run safely anywhere, at native speeds
  • decentralized, scalable, "tessellated" hexagonal architecture

And do it all without deployment automation

You don't need that anymore.
