Plugin driven
Workloads implement a stable plugin API. Mechana remains independent of their domain, implementation, and purpose.
Early development
Mechana is an open-source, plugin-driven distributed computation platform. Plugins describe complete computations; Mechana coordinates workers, scheduling, retries, progress, resources, and artifact movement without taking on domain-specific behavior.
Distributed by design
Coordinator and worker responsibilities are separated around explicit execution state, attempts, progress, and results.
Built for clarity
The project emphasizes predictable transitions, structured contracts, observability, and components that are easy to test.
Conceptual execution flow
Infrastructure orchestrates execution while plugins define the actual work.
