Blocktree

A distributed computing environment.

Blocktree is an attempt to extend the Unix philosophy that everything is a file to the entire distributed system that comprises modern IT infrastructure. Think of it as a a directory service, network filesystem, public key infrastructure, and message bus, all rolled into one!

Blocktree solves problems that all microservices applications have to overcome, allowing developers to focus on their applications.

Network Filesystem

The global Blocktree filesystem is partitioned into disjoint domains of control, each identified by a public key. The filesystem can be mounted with a FUSE daemon.

Cryptographic Security

Information in the filesystem secured with confidentiality and integrity protection. Key management is handled by the platform.

Message Passing

Apps are implemented as message passing actors. Messages are addressed using filesystem paths. The platform uses mutual TLS authentication to ensure your messages are only seen by their intended recipients.
