Reboot provides a platform for building and deploying reactive backend systems designed for high durability. It focuses on simplifying the development of complex, stateful applications using a durable Message-Centric Programming (MCP) model. This approach enables developers to create resilient services that maintain state reliably across failures.

Problem
Developing scalable cloud-native applications often requires complex solutions for concurrency, state management, and deployment, diverting developer focus from core business logic. Existing frameworks may force a trade-off between development speed and application scalability, leading to costly rewrites as the application grows.
Solution
Reboot is a programming framework designed to simplify the development of transactional microservices using protobuf and gRPC, enabling developers to build safe and scalable cloud-native applications. By abstracting away the complexities of distributed systems, Reboot allows teams to concentrate on building robust software without sacrificing performance. The framework promotes durability, reactivity, atomicity, and idempotency, ensuring data consistency and reliability in distributed environments. Reboot eliminates the need for developers to manage concurrency, locking, sharding, or replication manually.
Target Audience
Reboot targets software developers and engineering teams building cloud-native applications, particularly those using microservices architectures and seeking to simplify development while maintaining scalability and data consistency.
Features
- Protobuf-based definition of durable state types for data management.
- Built on gRPC for efficient communication between microservices.
- Automatic handling of concurrency and locking to prevent race conditions.
- Built-in support for idempotency to ensure operations are executed only once.
- Command-line tools (`rbt dev`, `rbt cloud`) for local development and cloud deployment.
- Support for Python, TypeScript, and React, with plans to support all gRPC-compatible languages.
