Cloudmonad: Private Internet cloud service system

Cloudmonad is a cloud service that allows users to realize specific functions by combining various predefined accessories through the web interface like Lego building blocks without knowing editing technology. Through this service, three functions of feed, spec and action can be realized. With these three functions, users can realize a lot of personalized high-quality services.

Cloudmonad has three modules: feed, spec and action.

1. Feed is the data input source, which is continuously provided by third-party components such as regular crawler or wechat message.
2. Spec is the detection of data source data. If it meets specific conditions, it will trigger subsequent action, otherwise it will be processed silently.
3. Action is the final execution action, and its input is provided by the feed that triggers the action to complete a specific task.

By combining these three modules, various interesting functions can be realized, such as:

Example 1: wechat message Kindle push;

Case 2: updated and pushed to Kindle by using Sogou WeChat search and monitor official account.

Example 3: wechat sharing links are pushed to RSS feeds;

Example 4: wechat notification of price change of JD;

Example 5: use fetchurl to implement any website as input source;

Example 6: 12306 ticket purchase;

Example 7: WeChat official account is issued automatically.

Example 8: using restapi action to realize fangtang's wechat notification;

Example 9: price change monitoring for Taobao specific packages.

These functions are just application examples of cloudmonad. They are generated through a serverless web application page with JSON configuration. The new functions are completely transparent to the back end.

Cloudmonad uses a variety of cloud resources:

It includes a cloudqueue that integrates dual backup of Alibaba cloud MNS and Amazon SQS for task distribution. Leancloud database is used for front-end and back-end communication with alicloud OSS. IBM

Openwhisk of Amazon, lambda of Amazon and digital ocean are used to dynamically adjust resources.

At present, the hard expenditure of the whole cloudmonad system is only one alicloud with the lowest virtual host, and other resources are used on demand. On that Alibaba cloud virtual machine, there is an akka

Node is used to coordinate resources and user management, and the specific dirty work is outsourced to other cloud services.

As Tibbets, founder of ifttt, said, "we always believe that people should have an innate belief. I am in charge of everything, not trapped by everything. It is in order to implement this belief that we started this project. "This is also my original intention of cloudmonad. It is like your agent on the Internet. It helps you traverse the website, check for updates, execute commands, and turn the Internet into a big program for you.
