SolaceCore Quick Status Reference

Last Updated: 2025-10-30
Version: 0.1.0-alpha

TL;DR

✅ Core framework is production-ready (90% complete)
⚠️ Single-node deployments only - No clustering yet
❌ Missing production infrastructure (monitoring, K8s, security)

---

What Works Today

✅ Actor-based system with hot-swapping
✅ Type-safe port communication  
✅ File & in-memory storage with encryption
✅ Kotlin scripting engine
✅ Workflow orchestration
✅ Real-time UI monitoring
✅ 360+ passing tests

What Doesn't Exist Yet

❌ Distributed/clustered operation
❌ Kubernetes deployment  
❌ Neo4j graph database
❌ Prometheus monitoring
❌ Security/auth framework
❌ Production Docker images

Ready For

✅ Local development
✅ Single-node production apps
✅ Research & prototyping
✅ Internal tools

Not Ready For

❌ Multi-node deployments
❌ Cloud-native applications
❌ High-security environments
❌ Large-scale distributed systems

Top 5 Missing Features (by priority)

1. Deadlock Detection - Prevent hangs in production
2. Integration Tests - Validate complex workflows
3. Prometheus Metrics - Monitor production systems
4. Kubernetes Config - Deploy to cloud
5. Neo4j Integration - Graph database capabilities

---

Timeline Estimate to Production-Ready

Phase	Duration	Features
Stability	2-3 months	Deadlock detection, integration tests, monitoring
Deployment	1-2 months	K8s configs, Docker optimization, health checks
Security	2-3 months	Auth/authz, encryption, audit logs
Scale	3-4 months	Clustering, distributed actors, Neo4j

Total to Full Production: 8-12 months

Can I Use This Now?

YES, if you need:

• Single-node actor systems
• Hot-pluggable components
• Local or simple deployments
• Research/prototyping
• Internal tooling

NO, if you need:

• Multi-node clustering
• Cloud-native deployment
• Enterprise security
• Distributed systems
• Production monitoring

One-Line Summary

SolaceCore has a solid, well-tested actor framework core (~90% done), but lacks production infrastructure (monitoring, deployment, security, clustering) needed for cloud-native distributed systems.
