Aether Vision
Distributed actor system with event sourcing for Go, powered by NATS.
Organization Context
This repo is part of Flowmade. See organization manifesto for who we are and what we believe.
What This Is
Aether is an open-source infrastructure library for building distributed, event-sourced systems in Go. It provides:
- Event sourcing primitives - Event, EventStore interface, snapshots
- Event stores - In-memory (testing) and JetStream (production)
- Event bus - Local and NATS-backed pub/sub with namespace isolation
- Cluster management - Node discovery, leader election, shard distribution
- Namespace isolation - Logical boundaries for multi-scope deployments
Who This Serves
- Go developers building distributed systems
- Teams implementing event sourcing and CQRS patterns
- Projects needing actor-based concurrency with event persistence
Goals
- Simple event sourcing - Clear primitives that compose well
- NATS-native - Built for JetStream, not bolted on
- Horizontal scaling - Consistent hashing, shard migration, leader election
- Namespace isolation - Logical boundaries without infrastructure overhead
Non-Goals
- Opinionated multi-tenancy (product layer concern)
- Domain-specific abstractions (use the primitives)
- GraphQL/REST API generation (build on top)
- UI components (see iris)
