Runtime & Dependencies

Scheme environment and standard tooling

Architecture

x86_64, ARM64 (Apple Silicon & Graviton)

🧠 How It Works

agave coordinates its core functionality through a modular Scheme pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Production System Integration

Embed agave into Scheme backend services to handle core application logic.

CI/CD Automated Pipelines

Run automated validation, builds, and integration suites during deployments.

Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open source license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install agave using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/dharmatech/agave.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for agave.

3

Import agave into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

Execute your test suite or run `agave --help` to verify successful setup.

👍 Strengths

Active community backing with 18 GitHub stars and verified adoption.
Permissive open-source distribution under the Open Source license.
Built in Scheme for high execution speed and developer familiarity.
Cross-platform compatibility across modern Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.
Clean modular design allowing flexible configuration and pipeline integration.

⚠️ Considerations
