Use Cases

// Use Casesscenarios

Real development scenarios FlowLayer can coordinate from a single runtime session: APIs, workers, brokers, data services, and infra glue.

Scope

“Distributed” here means development scenarios, not production distributed orchestration. Each page describes when to use the shape, the config skeleton, and where it stops being a good fit.

Pick a starting point

• Local Distributed Stack — API + worker + Kafka + data on one host.
• Remote Server Session — server on a VM, TUI on your laptop.
• Home Lab Runtime Session — always-on dev infra for several devices.
• Kafka Producer Consumer Loop — event-driven local stack with explicit ordering.
• Database Load Simulation — sustained read/write pressure before integration tests.
• Dev Infra Bridge — chain infra guardrails before app services start.
