Powerful communication patterns for any-to-any collaboration

Use event-based communication flows with one-to-many and many-to-many request-response patterns to realize decentralized prosumer scenarios. Coaty’s standardized communication event patterns are build on top of exchangeable open-standard publish-subscribe messaging protocols such as MQTT or WAMP.

Query anywhere - retrieve anywhere - persist anywhere

Seamlessly query distributed domain-specific data across decentralized components. You can retrieve data from arbitary data sources by use of a Unified Object Storage API which is part of the framework.

Smart routing of IoT data based on context

Dynamically route IoT (sensor) data from sources to actors, i.e. consumers based on context. Coaty provides rule-based routing using smart backpressure strategies negotiated between sources and actors.

Incremental & dynamic scenario evolution

Coaty removes the need for a central coordination authority by decoupling interaction between agents. You can dynamically add new agents and new features without distracting the existing system in order to adapt to your ever-changing scenarios.

Lightweight & modular architecture

Coaty favors a declarative programming style with inversion of control and distributed lifecycle management. Choose from a set of core and specialized modules to achieve operational simplicity with minimal dependencies. Connect to heterogenous system landscapes by extensible connectors.

Reactive Programming for asynchronous event handling

Coaty adopts the Reactive Programming paradigm to handle incoming asynchronous events in context. It raises the level of abstraction of your code so you can focus on the interdependence of events that define the communication business logic.
