Eclipse Zenoh-Flow

Zenoh-Flow is the union of Zenoh and data flow programming: a declarative framework for computations that span from the Cloud to the Thing.

⚠️ This software is still in alpha status and should not be used in production. Breaking changes are likely to happen and the API is not yet stable. ⚠️ The documentation is still scarce. Do not hesitate to contact us on Discord.

Description

Zenoh-Flow aims at simplifying and structuring (i) the declaration, (ii) the deployment and (iii) the writing of "complex" applications that can span from the Cloud to the Thing (or close to it).

To these ends, Zenoh-Flow leverages the data flow programming model --- where applications are viewed as a directed graph of computing units, and Zenoh --- an Edge-native, data-centric, location transparent, communication middleware.

This makes for a powerful combination as Zenoh offers flexibility and extensibility while data flow programming structures computations. The main benefit of this approach is that this allows us to decorrelate applications from the underlying infrastructure: data are published and subscribed to (automatically with Zenoh-Flow) without the need to know where they are actually located.
