The Next Milestone (dubbed internally as YAGNA)

An open platform and marketplace for distributed computations.

Project Layout

• agent - basic agent applications based on core services.
• core - core services for the open computation marketplace.
• exe-unit - ExeUnit Supervisor.
• service-bus - portable, rust-oriented service bus for IPC.
• test-utils - some helpers for testing purposes
• utils - trash bin for all other stuff ;)
• docs - project documentation including analysis and specifications.

Public API

Public API rust binding with data model is in ya-client repo.

High Level API

Public high-level API for Python is in yapapi repo.

Runtimes

We call our runtime ExeUnit. As for now we support

• Light VM - QEMU-based ExeUnit.
• and WASM in two flavours:
  • wasmtime - Wasmtime-based ExeUnit.
  • emscripten - SpiderMonkey-based ExeUnit.

Other ExeUnit types are to come (see below).

MVP Requirements

• Clean and easy UX, most specifically during onboarding.
• NGNT-centric.
• Production-ready, modular and easy to maintain architecture and code base.
  Modular means that all the building blocks can be easily replaceable.
• Documentation and SDK for developers.
• Small footprint binaries.
