Module federation for the backend. Aegis core lib. Regain control of your microservices by consolidating them into one or more shared processes without loosing deployment or language independence. Eliminate the need for deployment automation. Let services deploy themselves.

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
    • distributed worklow
    • distributed cache
    • multithreaded design to integrate I/O and CPU-bound workloads
    • shared memory for efficient processing across threads
    • fast streaming based on Async I/O supporting DDS and QUIC protocols
    • 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
    • self-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.


Getting started

Install

Install just the core lib from NPM:

npm i @module-federation/aegis

Contribute

Open a Gitpod workspace using a local repo:

Open in Gitpod

or

Manually install using Github as a repo.
