Project Ideas

A curated list of challenging, systems-level project ideas I plan to build.

1. ORC Protocol Implementation

• Status: Not Started
• Concept: A lightweight server and client for the ORC Protocol

2. Smart Cache API Gateway

• Status: Not Started
• Concept: A standalone, intelligent caching layer. It would act as a gateway that uses a declarative configuration (e.g., YAML) to define complex caching and invalidation rules based on API routes, request headers, and data dependencies.

3. WASM based serverless platform

• Status: Not Started
• Concept: A distributed, self-hosted serverless platform using WebAssembly for its core runtime.
• Components:
  • Control Plane: Manages function deployments and schedules invocations.
  • Worker Nodes: Execute functions in a secure, sandboxed WASM runtime.
  • CLI Tool: For deploying and managing functions.
• Challenge: Building a distributed system, leveraging WASM for fast/secure cold starts, and designing the custom protocols for node communication.
