fixrii

Fixrii is a fictional open-source software framework created for educational use to illustrate modular architectures and real-time data processing. It is described as a cross-platform toolkit for building interactive dashboards and data pipelines, with a focus on clarity of design and testability.

Etymology: The name fixrii combines the idea of reliable “fix” with a suffix intended to evoke scalability. It is not an established term in any real standard.

History: The concept appears in mid-2020s instructional materials and online tutorials as a case study for teaching microservices, event-driven systems, and plugin ecosystems.

Architecture: The reference architecture centers on Fixrii Core, an event-driven runtime that coordinates distributed components. It operates with a graph-based data model and provides REST and gRPC APIs. A plugin system enables third-party widgets and data connectors. Official SDKs include bindings for Python and TypeScript.

Components: The framework comprises Fixrii Core, Fixrii SDK, and Fixrii Studio, a graphical user interface for building dashboards. Data connectors support various sources and sinks, while the storage layer is described as supporting graph- or document-oriented models, depending on deployment.

Features: Fixrii offers real-time subscriptions and dashboards, offline support with durable queues, schema evolution, access control, and reproducible deployments via configuration as code.

Adoption and reception: Fixrii is primarily used in education and demonstration environments, with occasional internal pilots in fictional scenarios. It has limited real-world deployment and is not maintained as a production-ready framework.
