zNet was designed to become a backbone for distributed, lightweight, elastic applications. Contemporary applications are no longer live in the space of a single process - they rather become systems of distributed collaborating services, capable of changing their configuration, deployment and often identity on the fly. zNet offers such lightweight, fully functional distributed platform, offering not only developer's API for creating scalable software, but also ready to use application servers, that could take identity of any user library loaded into them. zNet provides robust operational environment complete with service management and control GUI, along with API to extend and specialize it based on your needs.
