Flux is an asynchronous, scalable, multi-tenant, distributed and reliable state machine based orchestrator. Flux intends to cater the needs of both a traditional state machine and also an advanced workflow orchestrator.
Flux provides capabilities like state management, audit, tracing through configurable constructs.
The Flux system design is organized into multiple layers in an attempt to be holistic about building, testing, deploying and operating workflows in a shared environment:
- UI - Provides for inspecting workflow execution and administration tasks on deployed instances/templates
- API/Modelling - Provides primitives for modelling State machines and reacting to state transitions, complex DAG-like workflows
- Runtime - Multiple variants from single JVM to distributed and isolated runtimes
- Integration - Support for operating the system i.e. Monitoring, Metrics and RPC mechanisms for running isolated runtimes
- Deployment - Providing mechanisms for cluster discovery, work distribution
