Product roadmap
This roadmap outlines the strategic direction for fluxrig. It defines the journey from an orchestration foundation to a high-fidelity, AI-orchestrated patchbay for mission-critical infrastructure.
Phase 0: proof of concept
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| POC | Delivered | Architecture Validation | Validated gRPC vs NATS JetStream, Wasm loading, and protocol parsing. |
Phase 1: architecture & foundation
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.1.x | Delivered | Core Data Physics | Defined the fluxMsg model, time-ordered identity (now UUID v7, RFC 9562), and Snake Protocol. |
Phase 2: core runtime
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.2.x | Delivered | Autonomous Execution | Single-binary Rack engine, self-healing connectivity, and DuckDB storage. |
Phase 3: open & flexible logic
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.3.x | Delivered | Universal I/O | Bento wrapped as a gear: Bloblang mapping, with the pure and local I/O connector sets. |
| v0.4.x | Delivered | Public Release & Native Gears | Open-source launch; ISO 8583 I/O and codec gears, Coat Check correlation, distributed state (NATS KV), and secure enrollment. |
| v0.5.x | Delivered | Sovereign Identity | UUID v7 (RFC 9562) identity plane and telemetry hardening. |
| v0.6.x | Delivered | Polyglot Logic | Wasm runtime (wazero) with signed, supply-chain-secure modules. |
Phase 4: scale & hardening
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.7.x | Delivered | Payment Switching | Conductor gear: connection routing + reply correlation over the valet ticket store, gear manifests, and native ISO 8583 TLS/mTLS. |
| v0.8.x | Delivered | EMV Chip Data | BER-TLV composite parsing, with tags the spec does not declare carried through untouched. |
| v0.9.x | Delivered | Enrichment & Correlation | Enrichment from outside the message under a hard deadline, and correlation keys that survive a bus hop. |
| v0.10.x | Delivered | The Semantic Layer | A protocol spec states its rules and the codec enforces them: per-message field usage, conditions, value domains and cross-field checks, plus a protocol reference generated from the spec. |
| v0.11.x | Delivered | Store Encryption & Enterprise Gears | The message store is encrypted at rest, wires choose a lane (hot or guaranteed), and the first licensed enterprise gears ship alongside the core release. |
| v0.12.x | Delivered | Authentication Hardening | The Mixer's API and a Rack's enrollment and heartbeat now require authentication, a Rack pins the Mixer's signing key, and guaranteed-lane messages ack only once handled. |
| Future | Planned | Differential Analysis | Correlator gear: parallel shadow mastering and reconciliation against the immutable archives. |
| Future | Planned | Guaranteed Local Lane | A NATS leaf node in each Rack keeps guaranteed delivery on disk when the Mixer is unreachable, with retention limits and durable delivery between Racks. |
| Future | Planned | Hardened Integrity | Forensic analytics (DuckLake), at-rest encryption for the Mixer's analytics database (DuckDB and Parquet), durable ticket store (local_durable), per-destination circuit breaker, and peer heartbeats. |
Phase 5: enterprise control
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Future | Planned | Global Management | fluxrig Studio (Visual Builder), Remote Fleet Management (OTA), and HSM/KMS security integration. |
| Future | Planned | Durable Workflows | Integration with Temporal for long-running business processes. |
Phase 6: autonomous engineering
| Version | Status | Goal | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Future | Planned | AI Orchestration | AI-driven configuration and deterministic anomaly detection. |
