Understand the operating model before the implementation details.
Learn how source, portable components, fresh execution, metering, and demand-led capacity fit together.
Learn the platform as a stack of responsibilities.
Each layer answers one question and hands a narrower contract to the next.
- ApplicationWhat should happen?
Product code expresses the behavior and workload intent.
Intent - CompilerWhat will run?
AssemblyLine creates the portable execution artifact.
Artifact - RuntimeWhen does it run?
Afterburner responds to work with fresh execution.
Execution
The foundation is composable because every layer has a stable responsibility.
Follow the platform in the order the work moves.
The execution path provides the simplest way to understand the responsibilities Hyjal takes on.
-
AuthorBring application source
The team defines behavior in a supported language.
-
CompileCreate a portable component
AssemblyLine produces the artifact the runtime will execute.
-
RunInstantiate for the request
Afterburner creates a fresh boundary for useful work.
-
CompleteReturn and discard
The response leaves and the instance lifecycle ends.
Once the boundaries are clear, every deeper platform detail has a natural place.
Build from a clear platform model.
