Every package iii depends on, ranked by repo health score.

iii is a backend runtime framework that collapses the integration story of queues, cron jobs, HTTP, state management, AI agents, and observability into a single live system surface. Instead of wiring each new capability to every other service through point-to-point integrations, iii lets you add a worker with one command and makes it instantly available to the entire system without configuration glue.

The framework is built around three primitives: Workers (processes that register capabilities), Functions (units of work with stable identifiers like `content::classify` or `orders::validate`), and Triggers (anything that causes a function to run — HTTP endpoints, cron schedules, queue subscriptions, state changes, stream events, or custom triggers you define). This mental model applies equally to TypeScript API services, Python data pipelines, Rust microservices, and Go workers.

iii's engine is written in Rust using Tokio for async execution, with Axum serving the WebSocket-based protocol through which workers register their functions and receive invocations. SDKs are available for Node.js, Python, Rust, and Go, and the entire system is observable out of the box via OpenTelemetry — traces, metrics, and logs flow through the same runtime rather than requiring separate instrumentation per service.

The project is designed to be the foundation for both human developers and AI agents working in the same system: when a task needs a capability the system does not have, an agent can add a worker, discover its functions, call them, and trace what happened — using exactly the same interface a developer would use.
