What it does
- Runs dataflows described in YAML, connecting nodes through typed inputs and outputs.
- Uses Apache Arrow memory format and Zenoh shared-memory transport for fast data exchange between nodes.

- Supports nodes written in Rust, Python, C and C++, mixable within one dataflow.
- Provides restart policies, health monitoring and cluster management for production use.
- Includes a ROS2 bridge and an optional package hub for reusable nodes.
