WASP is a asynchronous "transport-agnostic" web framework project. The goal is to allow you to spin up a RESTful web service that can listen on any transport such as HTTP, RabbitMQ, or others.
It is a project designed to make microservices; specifically python, but we hope this project will grow to other languages as well.
The patterns used in wasp are language agnostic. You should be able to call other services in different languages assuming they all follow the same patterns. Wasp frameworks have a pluggable architecture for the transport layer, which allows you to switch from http to using a message bus, or vice-versa. You could even listen on both at the same time without having to modify your code at all.
wasp
stands for a Wicked Async Services Platform.
It can also stand for Web Application Service Platform if that suits you better.
Wasps are also a very powerful insect. Most wasps are strong enough to stand up for (as in, defend) themselves.
However, wasps work as a hive, and achieve a single system. In otherwords, they are "microserviced".
Also, the yellow jacket wasp is one of my (nhumrich) greatest fears, so naming this wasp is also a wierd way of "conquering" my fears.
