SPARKL Sequencing Engine

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The SPARKL Sequencing Engine is a powerful piece of code that can be installed inside a computer or other hardware device. It can run in your laptop, or be installed inside devices such as a Cisco router or Intel IoT gateway.

Functionality     

The SPARKL Sequencing Engine lets you design and execute distributed business processes such as orchestrating technical infrastructure and making machines work together on a factory floor.

This generates a blockchain-secured audit trail, which logs every datacenter event as well as the logical flow of events that form a given process - so you can prove the right data crossed the right path to get to the right place.

The OpenSPARKL command line interface works on Linux, Mac and Windows. It lets you do everything from your terminal including configuration management, running mix transactions, provisioning services and much else.

Python Library

You can use the OpenSPARKL Python library to control everything programmatically, which can be especially useful when integrating OpenSPARKL seamlessly into your own dev, test or production environments.

Developer Console

Use the Developer Console to manage OpenSPARKL clusters and configuration.

It provides everything you need to manage configurations that achieve anything from API gateways, through complex provisioning, to full business workflows.

Mix Authoring

Some people like authoring tools, others don't. If you do, this one lets you build configurations that mix hybrid services together quickly and easily to form workflows, transactions and sagas.

Or, just use your favourite text editor to create OpenSPARKL XML or YAML.

Trace and Debug

Use the same powerful facilities to trace and debug transaction flows over any mix of nano-services, OpenFaaS docker instances, AWS Lambda functions, microservices and traditional systems.

OpenSPARKL can listen to any object in the mix, including folders, services, functions, events and even individual data fields.

Unified Audit Trail

Every service, function, event and configuration change results in an audit trail entry which can be dumped direct to console, disk or big database such as ElasticSearch.

Using any format from plain text through JSON to your own custom log formats, this means every system in your hybrid mix generates the same format log.

It also allows us to implement Proof of Process using public or private blockchain, and Proof of Data Provenance.
