Aqua
Aqua is an open-source language for distributed workflow coordination in p2p networks. Aqua programs are executed on many peers, sequentially or in parallel, forming a single-use coordination network. Applications are turned into hostless workflows over distributed function calls, which enables various levels of decentralization: from handling by a limited set of servers to complete peer-to-peer architecture by connecting user devices directly. Aqua is the core of the Fluence protocol and a framework for internet or private cloud applications.
Usage
The easiest way to use Aqua is through Fluence CLI with aqua command.
Other ways of using Aqua are described in USAGE.md.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation and usage examples as well as a number of videos can be found in Aqua Book. Aqua Playground demonstrates how to start writing Aqua and integrate it into a TypeScript application. Numerous videos are available at our YouTube channel.
