DFFALike
DFFALike is a modular software framework and runtime designed for building declarative data-processing pipelines and functionally composed applications. It adopts a data-flow oriented model in which components are connected as nodes in a graph, and edges express data dependencies and backpressure. The framework emphasizes composability through higher-order functions and lightweight adapters, enabling developers to implement transformations, filters, and aggregations as reusable components that can be executed in client, server, or edge environments.
Its architecture consists of a graph compiler that determines efficient evaluation order, a scheduler that manages
DFFALike originated as an experimental project in 2020 from the OpenDev Collective and matured into a stable
Common use cases include ETL pipelines, real-time analytics dashboards, event-driven microservices, and exploratory data processing. The
