darcon
Simple Messaging Bus for Node.js entities over NatsIO
The library allows one to transparently publish and scale plain vanilla JS objects to a running nats.io instance as services objects.
The concept is simple:
- entities with services to be published are defined within your application. Each entity must possess a unique name.
- all functions defined be the entities are can be called through the message bus
- any amount of darcon instance can be created around a given entity allowing one to scale a service endlessly over nats.io.
!Note: the presente of the messge bus induces the requirement of 'jsonifiable' objects to be passed as paramters!
A single darcon instance can manage multiple entities. To scale a service up, a single entity can be published to multiple darcon instances.
The darcon instances know about each other and share the "map of entities" and manage message transmission to load balance.
