iii-architecture-patterns

Guides configuring the iii backend engine, which unifies API routing, task queues, cron scheduling, pub/sub, state management, and observability into a single process using Function, Trigger, and Worker primitives.

Part of iii, a composable runtime that lets you add workers (services, agents, sandboxes) to a live catalog where they discover and call each other instantly through three primitives: Workers, Functions, and Triggers.

SDK reference for the iii platform covering Node.js, browser, Python, and Rust clients with APIs for worker initialization, function/trigger registration, invocation, channels, logging, and OpenTelemetry integration.

Skill

Covers trigger action modes in the iii backend engine, including fire-and-forget (Void), durable async (Enqueue), and direct invocation patterns for controlling how functions are executed across workers.

Browser-optimized SDK for connecting web applications to the iii engine via WebSocket, enabling frontend code to register functions, invoke server-side triggers, and consume real-time streams.

Guides building durable workflow orchestration on the iii engine, chaining functions across distributed workers with automatic retry handling, state management, and end-to-end observability.

Skill for configuring trigger conditions in the iii backend engine, defining when functions execute based on event sources like HTTP requests, cron schedules, queue messages, and state changes.

Enables low-code backend automation on the iii engine by composing Function, Trigger, and Worker primitives with minimal configuration to build workflows, scheduled tasks, and event-driven pipelines.

Covers the core Function and Trigger primitives of the iii backend engine, teaching how to define units of work, bind them to event sources (HTTP, cron, queue, state change), and orchestrate execution across distributed workers.
