Aegis Stack Philosophy

The core philosophy of Aegis Stack is built on three pillars: Speed, Simplicity, and Scalability.

Speed: For Builders Who Refuse to Wait

Development should be fast. Aegis Stack is designed to get you from idea to production as quickly as possible.

Async-First: Built from the ground up with asyncio to handle high-concurrency workloads efficiently.
Full-Stack Python: Use a single language for your entire stack, reducing context-switching and cognitive load.
Minimalist by Default: No unnecessary bloat. The stack provides a clean, strong foundation that you can build upon, not a heavy framework you have to fight against.

Aegis Stack favors clear, Pythonic patterns over complex, magical frameworks.

Composable Architecture: Features like the lifecycle registry and service discovery are designed to be extended with plain Python, not complex plugin systems.
Clear Separation of Concerns: The project structure is organized logically to separate the frontend, backend, core business logic (services), and framework plumbing.
Single Source of Truth: Patterns like mkdocstrings are encouraged to keep documentation tied directly to the code, reducing drift and maintenance overhead.

Aegis Stack is designed to grow with your application.

Monorepo Foundation: Start with a simple, unified codebase that is easy to manage and develop.
Path to Distribution: The architecture is structured to allow for a natural evolution into a distributed system. The same core app library can be used by different entrypoints to run the web server, background workers, and schedulers as independent, scalable services.
