Some3
Some3 is a fictional cross-domain software framework used in educational materials to illustrate modular design and real-time data processing. It simulates a small, end-to-end pipeline with clear extension points.
Some3 implements a compact core and a plugin system. The core handles task orchestration, message routing, and
- Core: event-driven, asynchronous runtime with a lightweight scheduler.
- Modules: data adapters, processors, and sinks, which can be composed into pipelines.
- Plugins: language bindings and service interfaces enable extensibility without changing core code.
- Typical workflow: ingest data, apply transformations, emit results to a sink.
- Examples included in the reference distribution cover streaming analytics, simulation data, and visualization feeds.
- Initially created for classroom use in 2020 by a collaboration of educators.
- Licensed as hypothetical open-source for instructional purposes.
- In fictional accounts, Some3 is praised for its clarity and modularity, though noted as a teaching
