The project serves as an advanced engineering portfolio (Proof of Work) focusing on systems architecture, low-level memory management, and automated resilient infrastructure.\n\nBy pairing a zero-allocation matching core written in **Rust** with a flexible, modular gateway and supervisor layer written in **Clojure**, Krakatoa achieves extreme performance without sacrificing architectural clarity.\n\n## Project Kanban Board\n\n| 📥 BACKLOG | ⏭️ NEXT | 🛠️ WIP | ✅ DONE |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| • [Milestone 2: Engine](kanban.org#milestone-2) | | | • [Milestone 1: Skeleton](kanban.org#milestone-1) |\n| • [Milestone 3: HA/Chaos](kanban.org#milestone-3) | | | |\n| • [Milestone 4: Frontend](kanban.org#milestone-4) | | | |\n\n## Key Features \u0026 Pillars\n\n- **Polylith Architecture:** The Clojure layer is built using strict component-based design, allowing 100% code reuse between production gateways and destruction testware.\n- **Low-Latency Transport:** Communication across the polyglot boundary is driven by ZeroMQ utilizing off-heap direct byte buffers to minimize JVM Garbage Collection overhead.\n- **State Consistency:** Full event-sourcing implementation backed by an Apache Kafka transaction log.\n- **Automated Chaos Engineering:** The infrastructure is fully virtualized via KVM and managed via Terraform to rigorously test automated hot-failover state machines under simulated hardware drops.\n\n## Project Documentation\n\nThe repository follows a strict separation between long-term architectural specifications and temporary task management execution plans. You can explore the project depth via the following documentation paths:\n\n- [Architectural Specification](docs/specification.md) — The living document outlining the global architecture, monorepo layout, technical pillars, and current project execution dashboard.\n- [Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)](docs/adr/) — Dedicated directory containing permanent, immutable records of all major design decisions (e.g., component strategies, memory management patterns).\n- [Active Slice Development Plan](docs/current_slice.md) — The granular, GTD-inspired task list currently being executed in the current development sprint.\n\n## Monorepo Layout\n\n```text\nkrakatoa/\n├── components/         # Shared, immutable Clojure components (Polylith)\n├── bases/              # Ingress gateways and exposed entry points\n├── projects/           # Executable and deployable Clojure artifacts\n├── engine/             # Core High-Velocity Matching Engine in Rust\n├── infra/              # Infrastructure automation (Packer, Terraform, Podman)\n└── docs/               # Project documentation, specifications, and ADRs\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjstavel%2Fkrakatoa","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjstavel%2Fkrakatoa","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjstavel%2Fkrakatoa/lists"}
