Myrmic is an open-source runtime for distributed edge applications. It provides execution, messaging, state handling, and placement for application logic running across heterogeneous edge and embedded devices, without requiring a central cloud service in the control path.
This lightning talk introduces two core aspects of the system. First, Myrmic provides a complete runtime stack for building and coordinating distributed applications across the edge. Second, its dual-engine architecture separates portable, sandboxed application logic from device-specific native Rust code, allowing applications to span gateways and microcontrollers without hiding hardware capabilities behind a lowest-common-denominator abstraction.
In five minutes, attendees will get a compact view of the overall stack, the dual-engine design, the capabilities it enables, and the trade-offs it introduces. Myrmic is open source, and the implementation will be available after the session.
