Simple baseline scaffold to get you started using actix with diesel.

I write open-source developer tools to speedup engineering of scalable software. Foci on: cross-platform, multi-ML, multicloud, and compilers to translate across codebases.

Deploy at any scale

From one [e.g., embedded] device to 10,000 servers:

• [old] 59+ Python repos with "off" prefix;
• [new] cross-platform [very] cross-platform package managers:
  • C89 base depending on each OS's crypto and network lib libacquire;
  • rvm/nvm style cross-platform package managers
    • postgres-version-manager-go in Go
    • "version-manager-rs" suffixed Rust crates

Purpose	Repo
Provision nodes specified in JSON, across 50+ clouds	offstrategy
SSH into node provisioned by offstrategy|offset	offshell
Deprovision node provisioned by offstrategy|offset from cloud providers	offswitch
Bring Your Own Node (BYON) [so can use ↕]	offset
Deploy any of 50 "offregister-" prefixed softwares—including clustered databases—to nodes provisioned by offstrategy|offset	offregister

Competitive advantage

• Support for more cloud vendors;
• Uses normal Python packages deployable to PyPi, as opposed to Puppet/Chef/Ansible with their custom systems;
• [WiP] Deploy to any operating system (cross-platform: SunOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, OpenBSD);
• [WiP] Experiment with different versions of each package, including clustered variants.

Multicloud

From one cloud vendor to many:

• [old] See aforementioned Apache Libcloud and Fabric utilising Python repos;
• [new] C89 google-cloud-c library (soon: auto-generate entire library, and other vendors);
• [planned] autogenerate vendors other than Google Cloud.

Competitive advantage

• [C89] Can be called from most any programming language and runs in all environments;
• [planned] Build specific abstractions for multicloud, like: container-as-a-Service; ML-as-a-Service; Storage-as-a-Service; &etc.

Multi-ML

From one machine-learning framework to many:

• [old] Python repo from my first PhD: ml-glaucoma;
• [new] 10+ Python repos with "ml-params" prefix:

Google	Other vendors
tensorflow	pytorch
keras	skorch
flax	sklearn
trax	xgboost
jax	cntk

Competitive advantage

• Keep up-to-date with latest innovations without porting to favourite framework;
• Experiment with every model on all major Python ML frameworks.

Native development, cross-platform, without tradeoffs

Compilers to automatically translate—within and—between:

Language	Compiler
Python	cdd-python
C	cdd-c
Java (Android)	cdd-java
Kotlin (Android)	cdd-kotlin
Swift (iOS)	cdd-swift
TypeScript (Angular)	cdd-ts-ng
Rust	cdd-rust

Competitive advantage

• [intra-language] Automatically synchronise tests (& mocks), docs, types & interfaces;
• [exolanguage] Translate changes across language boundaries;
• Develop multi-language applications—e.g., Android, iOS, web, backend—as fast as single-language applications (compare with: Django or Ruby on Rails) and at a higher quality thanks to increased consistency, test coverage and doc coverage.
