Mongoose server Architecture Documentation

Introduction

This directory contains comprehensive architecture documentation for the Mongoose server project. The documentation is organized into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the architecture.

Table of Contents

1. Architecture Overview

   • High-level architecture description
   • Main components and their relationships
   • System architecture diagrams

2. Component Architecture

   • Detailed description of key components
   • Component responsibilities
   • Class diagrams
   • Component relationships

3. Event Flow Architecture

   • Event flow components
   • Event processing pipeline
   • Subscription model
   • Event types and wrapping
   • Queue implementation

4. Agent Execution

   • What agent execution is and how it differs from user threads
   • How agents are supported in Mongoose Server
   • When to choose agent execution; execution contexts (handlers vs services/feeds/sinks)

5. Deployment Guide
