rutis

Overview

rutis is a plugin runtime for software that must keep running. Plugins declare the services they need and provide, and the runtime manages start order, reloads, shutdown, and cleanup so changes happen without unnecessary restarts. It supports a Rust core with plugins in TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python, and can coordinate services across processes and machines. This keeps dependency changes and provider replacements easier to handle.

Key features

• Dependency-driven lifecycle for start, stop, and reload
• Cleanup and rollback when plugins load or unload
• Hot updates without restarting unrelated services
• TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python plugins in one runtime
• Service sharing across processes and machines with WebSocket and TLS

Best for

Best for teams building long-running services that need plugin-based extension and dependency-aware lifecycle management. It fits systems where services change at runtime and where plugins may run in different languages or across machines.
