MeshWeaver

MeshWeaver is a modular framework for building data-driven applications with real-time updates, interactive visualizations, and powerful data processing capabilities.

Getting Started

You can run MeshWeaver in two modes:

Monolithic Setup

cd portal/MeshWeaver.Portal
dotnet run

This setup is useful for smaller projects which are deployed as monoliths. If you are unsure which approach to pick, pick this one.

Microservices Setup (with .NET Aspire)

cd portal/aspire/MeshWeaver.Portal.AppHost
dotnet run

Please note that this approach requires running docker. Microservices are generally more complex to handle, but they provide big flexibility running in productive setups.

Core Components

Message Hub System

The backbone of MeshWeaver is its message hub system (MeshWeaver.Messaging.Hub), which provides:

• Actor model-based message routing
• Request-response patterns
• Hierarchical hub hosting
• Built-in dependency injection

Data Processing

• Messaging: Send and received messages between addresses. Route them inside the mesh.
• Concurrency: Fully asynchronous concurrency using the actor model.
• Data Synchronization: Full-fledged data replication for Create Read Update Delete.
• Business Rules: Rule engine with scope-based state management
• Import: Flexible data import system with activity tracking

Computation

• Kernel: Interactive code execution and visualization
• Interactive Markdown: A markdown dialect allowing to include code execution.

UI and Visualization

• Layout: Framework-agnostic UI control abstractions
• Reporting: Fexible and interactive reporting

Flexible deployment options

• Elasticity: Create a fully elastic setup using Orleans
• Integration: Integrate with almost any available technology through Aspire.
