Components Overview

Aegis Stack follows a Voltron philosophy - each component provides a specific capability (like web serving, frontend UI, scheduling) with carefully chosen Python-native implementations that work seamlessly together.

What Are Components?

Components provide core capabilities your application needs:

• Web Server: Handles HTTP requests and API endpoints
• Frontend: Provides user interface and interactions
• Scheduling: Manages background tasks and cron jobs (coming soon)
• Database: Stores and retrieves application data (coming soon)
• Caching: Improves performance with data caching (coming soon)

Current Components

Web Server

Implementation: FastAPI
Capability: High-performance async web framework for building APIs

Frontend

Implementation: Flet
Capability: Python-based UI framework for desktop and web

Component Philosophy

Why This Approach?

1. Python-First: All components are Python-native for consistency
2. Async Architecture: Every component supports async/await patterns
3. Standards: Each component follows consistent integration patterns
4. Evolution: Start with solid foundations, add capabilities as needed

How Components Work

Each component:

• Integrates cleanly with the lifecycle management system
• Follows standard patterns for configuration and setup
• Supports async operation for high performance
• Provides examples for common use cases

Each component is carefully chosen to maintain Aegis Stack's Python-first, async-native philosophy while providing the capabilities needed for modern applications.
