What is Minka ?

Minka is a Java library for distribution and balance of backend systems through sharding of user-defined duties.

What is it used for ?

Horizontally scale up usage of physical resources by splitting processing workload into application instances, and keeping a dynamic distribution and balancing of input signals.

Features

• Highly available service of distribution of duties and Resilient to failure
• Several weighted balancers to achieve flexible and continuous dynamic task distribution
• Mutipurpose abstract model with an Inversion of Control non-intrusive integration
• Isolation of scaling concerns out of the business layer by encapsulation

Usage and backend model

Duties	Pallets	Delegates	Shards	Leader	Followers
user-defined distributable entities, representing input data or signal to user functions.	group duties, with specific balancing strategies based on lifecycle, costs and performance.	the API client applying the contract of reacting on distribution events sent to the shard	fragments of the duty universe, each machine in the cluster.	coordinates client CRUD requests. Controls everything.	receives duties and pallets from the leader, to invoke delegate’s contract.
