Ambrosia: Highly Robust Distributed Programming Made Easy and Efficient

• Linux Build and Test:

Ambrosia is a programming language independent approach for authoring and deploying highly robust distributed applications. Ambrosia dramatically lowers development and deployment costs and time to market by automatically providing recovery and high availability.

Today's datacenter oriented applications, which include most popular services running in Azure today, are composed of highly complex, distributed software stacks. For instance, they typically incorporate Event Hub or Kafka to robustly journal input and interactions for recoverability, log important information to stores like Azure blobs for debuggability, and use extremely expensive mechanisms like distributed transactions, and stateless functions with distributed persistent back-ends, in order to ensure exactly once execution of service code.

In contrast, Ambrosia automatically gives programmers recoverability, high availability, debuggability, upgradability, and exactly once execution, without requiring developers to weave together such complex systems, or use overly expensive mechanisms.

Quick Start

Build the PerformanceTestInterruptible example, using this one-line powershell command:

.\CmdLine-FreshBuild.ps1

Overview of directories

• LocalAmbrosiaRuntime: the core reliable messaging and coordination engine.

• InternalImmortals: example programs and services built on Ambrosia.

• Tools: additional console tools for interacting with the Azure metadata that supports an Ambrosia service.

• AmbrosiaTest: integration tests.

• Ambrosia : Language binding for C#
