Platform Architecture
Orbital
Composable Application Platform — Build systems from declarative building blocks
Orbital is a composable application platform built on NATS JetStream. Define your application’s structure, content, configuration, and behavior as versioned schemas. Everything is an Orb — compose exactly the system you need from declarative building blocks.
Core principles:
- Everything is an Orb — System functionality defined declaratively
- Event sourcing — Complete revision history via append-only streams
- NATS RPC — Domain isolation, no service discovery needed
- Schema-driven — Content, config, and APIs defined by schemas
