Thanks for the PR. I would like to know about godon. What is the purpose and application of this software?

Hi @HideakiImamura

thank you for your interest and enquiry.

I had casted out a purpose document on my documentation page.

Nonetheless, I am trying to put it in abstracted notions beyond the purpose statement.

godon lives at the intersection or melding of:

• Domain Knowledge - helps or enables infra/cloud/platform/network operations engineers mechanize performance tuning, calibration, and optimization of technology stacks
• Democratizes advanced optimization - makes generic optimization algorithms accessible to non-experts AI for complex infrastructure configuration problems
• Algorithm Agentic approach - behind the scenes godon bets on "agentic breeders" - domain knowledge cast in catalogs of breeders - it holds the stance that emergence from collaboration of certain diversity of multi objective metaheuristics agents and can rise to new benevolent traits in operational contexts

Unlike low-fidelity solutions like Datadog or its cousins that focus mainly on right-sizing or prediction through surrogate ML models from data, godon gathers data and acts, the high fidelity way.

You could imagine it that way:

• godon is to dynamic, evolving configuration what Terraform (and cousins like Salt) are to static configuration.
• godon can something akin to Performance Posture management over time

Where Infrastructure-as-Code tools handle static provisioning and declarative state, godon continuously optimizes running systems in dynamic environments - gathering data, acting, and evolving
configurations online.

Similar projects - kruize/autotune - but their focus is mostly on optimizing from within k8s clusters - at least it used to be like that at last sync point. godon with its "interactors"/"effectuators" seeks to be more generic in that regard.

Might further of interest:

• Regarding maturity: The POC is complete with a working engine. I'm currently pushing aggressively toward easily usable MVP.

I'd be happy about stars on the project or further going partnerships! 🌟 🤝
