Overwatch

Overwatch is a framework to easily construct applications that requires of several independent parts that needs communication between them. Everything is self-contained, and it matches somewhat the advantages of microservices.

Design Goals

Modularity:
- Components should be self-contained (as possible)
- Communication relations between components should be specifically defined
- Components should be mockable. This is rather important for measurements and testing.
Single responsibility:
- It is easier to isolate problems
- Minimal sharing when unavoidable
Debuggeability
- Easy to track workflow
- Easy to test
- Easy to measure
- Asynchronous Communication
