NStack

"NStack is platform-agnostic and can run out-of-the-box wherever you can run a virtual machine, including:

• your cloud provider of choice
• your internal cloud
• locally using VirtualBox, VMWare, or your operating system’s native virtualisation

The virtual appliance can be found on the NStack’s GitHub Releases page, where is is provided as a raw or qcow2 image. We also provide an AWS AMI.

A module is a piece of code that has been deployed to NStack, either by you or someone else. It has an input schema and an output schema, which defines what kind of data it can receive, and the kind of data that it returns.

Sources & Sinks

• A source is something which emits a stream of data.
• A sink is something which can receive a stream of data.

Example sources and sinks are databases, files, message-queues, and HTTP endpoints. Like modules, you can define the input and output schemas for your sources and sinks.

Workflows

Modules, sources, and sinks can be combined together to build workflows. This is accomplished using the NStack Workflow Language, a simple, high-level language for connecting things together on the NStack Platform.

Processes

When a workflow is started, it becomes a running process. You can have multiple processes of the same workflow."
