microagent 1.9.0rc2

The goal of this project is to facilitate the creation of microservices interacting via a signal bus and/or queue broker.

The philosophy of this project is to present a microservice as a software agent that directly interacts only with queues and the event bus, and not with other microservices.

Tool is intended for developing:

• distributed apps with event-driven architecture

• distributed apps with data-driven architecture

• multi-processors apps

Tool provide features:

• running a periodical tasks (interval or as CRON)

• specification of signals (events), their sending and receiving via the bus (redis)

• description of queues, sending and receiving messages via the queue broker (aiormq, kafka, redis)

• limited RPC via signal bus

• launching sub-services (in the same process)

• launching a group of microagents (each in a separate process)

• mocks for bus and broker
