How Resonate works
Resonate facilitates the development and operation of distributed applications.
System architecture
The following diagram illustrates the system architecture of Resonate:
Resonate SDK
Developers use the Resonate SDK to build applications. It enables developers to write sequential programs using just functions and promises that execute asynchronously across multiple processes or machines.
Each process where the Resonate SDK is used to call resonate.run() is known as an Application Node.
A Resonate application can have between 1 and n Application Nodes.
The Application Nodes are responsible for executing functions.
Resonate offers SDKs for the following langauges:
Resonate Server
Each Application Node connects to a Resonate Server. The Resonate Server is a superivisor service that manages the storage of Durable Promises and routes Remote Function Calls (RFIs).
Resonate CLI
The Resonate CLI is a command-line interface that allows you to interact with the Resonate Server.
It comes with the Resonate Server.
