Term Description
Monolake Framework for developing high-performance network services like proxies and gateways
Monolake Proxy A reference HTTP proxy implementation using monolake
Monoio The async runtime used by the framework, providing efficient I/O operations based on io_uring
Foundational Crates Crates that provide low-level, core functionality and building blocks for the monolake ecosystem. Examples: monoio-transports, service-async, certain-map.
Framework Crates Crates that represent the higher-level, user-facing parts of the monolake framework. Examples: monolake-core, monolake-service.
monolake-core Foundational crate that provides a robust framework for worker orchestration, service deployment, and lifecycle management.
monolake-service Foundational crate that provides a collection of services for building high-performance, modular HTTP servers and Thrift services.
service-async A foundational crate that introduces a refined Service trait with efficient borrowing and zero-cost abstractions, as well as utilities for service composition and state management.
Service A modular component that provides a specific functionality. Defined using the Service trait from the service-async crate.
Service Chain A composition of multiple services, where the output of one service is the input of the next. Enabled by the FactoryStack and FactoryLayer from service-async.
Service Factory A component that is responsible for creating and managing instances of services.
FactoryLayer A trait from the service-async crate that defines how to wrap one factory with another, creating a new composite factory.
FactoryStack An abstraction from the service-async crate that manages a stack of service factories, enabling the creation of complex service chains.
MakeService A trait implemented by service factories to create instances of services that implement the Service trait.
AsyncMakeService An asynchronous version of the MakeService trait, allowing for more complex service composition.
certain-map A foundational crate that provides a typed map data structure, ensuring the existence of specific items at compile-time, useful for managing data dependencies between services.
monoio-transports A foundational crate that provides high-performance, modular networking capabilities, including connectors and utilities for efficient network communications.
Connector Trait A trait defined in the monoio-transports crate that provides a common interface for establishing network connections, allowing for modular and composable network communication solutions.
