Goals

  • Manage and Execute processes
  • Make dependencies declaritive
  • Capable of replacing init, or being init, in Unix like environments
  • Cross platform capable
  • Isolation primitives support (containers, sandboxes, jails, etc) depends on platform
  • Only safe Rust for all software components
  • Simple to use for single applications, but scalable to large graphs of managed software
  • Declaritive extensibility
  • Async or event driven startup
  • Optional dependent restart driven by parent processes
  • Log aggregation and forwarding
  • Embeddable in other existing init systems
  • User mode and super user (priviledged) modes supported

Non-goals

  • Take over the world
  • Interprocess communication
  • Event bus (This might be in scope)
