The Hiconic Reflex Platform

Hiconic Reflex (aka RX) aims to be a platform for modeled micro-services with attention to:

• fast startup and response time
• interface based POJO models as first class citizens
• efficient and elegant generic data processing
• normalized cross cutting concerns for services
• modularity and extensibility
• convention over configuration
• simple, yet flexible configuration
• modeled error handling
• modeled services, location agnostic for caller and callee
• service portability by separation of concerns
  • format (JSON, YAML, efficient binary, …)
  • transport (HTTP, message queue, CLI, …)
  • protocol (REST, GraphQL, …)
  • mapping (URL, message-body, form-data, CLI arguments, …)
