Co-design cloud assistants with your web app and IoT devices.
This repository contains Caf.js core platform components.
The platform multiplexes many (e.g., 1k-10K) CAs of one application in a single node.js process, and integrates with a PaaS to scale to many processes.
The goal is to host a billion CAs with a reasonable number of servers (e.g., < 5K), and each CA processing a simple message per second.
We use Redis to checkpoint CAs before externalization. The state of a CA is assumed to be small, i.e., kilobytes not megabytes. See {@link external:caf_ca}.
External interactions with CAs use a websocket pipeline based on connect. See {@link external:caf_cli}.
