Figure: Runtime-to-runtime work spans local discovery, sustained mesh exchange, same-host realtime transport, and fleet/cloud coordination.
Start Here¶
- Transport Matrix: compare discovery, mesh, realtime, and runtime-cloud paths before you configure anything
Choose By Goal¶
| Goal | Page |
|---|---|
| discover nearby runtimes and pair them | Discovery And Pairing |
| share data across a distributed runtime mesh | Mesh And Zenoh |
| keep communication local and low-latency on one host | Realtime T0 |
| coordinate runtimes across sites or fleets | Runtime Cloud Federation |
| understand exposure and hardening boundaries | Security |
Rule Of Thumb¶
- Use discovery when you are still finding peers on a local network.
- Use mesh when runtimes need sustained data exchange.
- Use realtime T0 when the runtimes share a host and latency matters more than distribution.
- Use runtime-cloud federation when the system boundary is larger than one local network.
