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)
