IPVM - MVP Distributed Runtime & Effects

[bdehaynin]

Description:

This milestone is part of the Fission Projects Roadmap.

Objectives:

• This milestone will make the MVP fully functional. This will be a version designed for fission use as it will not allow plug-ins or 3rd party integrations, these will come at a later time.

ETA: 2023-12-31

Features:

• Runtime phase.1
  • Affinities
  • Matchmaking
• Workflows phase.1
  • Task Permissions Model (UCAN)
  • Workflow Properties / Invariants
  • Task Properties / Invariants
• Managed Effects and "Mutations" phase.1
  • Common Effects
  • DNS (or HTTP first?)

Children:

• Affinities ipvm-wg/homestar#88
• Matchmaking ipvm-wg/homestar#89
• Task Permissions: (UCAN validation) on workflows and tasks ipvm-wg/homestar#91
• Workflow Properties / Invariants ipvm-wg/homestar#92
• Task Properties/Invariants ipvm-wg/homestar#93
• 1st-party Effects: HTTP (GET, POST, PUT) ipvm-wg/homestar#95
• Distributed Runtime + Scheduler ipvm-wg/homestar#94
• Captured Receipts ipvm-wg/homestar#76

What's next?

• Ready to start testing with other provider integrations and their routable task types, i.e. docker/run.
• Shape our fault-oblivious model and how we handle failures at a higher-level from users.
• Start working with effects along with our deterministic Wasm subset, and test mixed workflows. This will extend Fission provider offerings to combine deterministic Wasm and Common Effects.
