Arcaflow Deployers Development Guide

The Arcaflow Engine relies on deployers to execute containers. Deployers provide a binary-safe transparent tunnel of communication between a plugin and the engine. (Typically, this will be done via standard input/output, but other deployers are possible.)

The Engine and the plugin communicate via the Arcaflow Transport Protocol over this tunnel, but the deployer is unaware of the method of this communication.

Deployers are written in Go and must implement the deployer interface. Deployers are not dynamically pluggable, they must also be added to the engine code to be usable.
