Execution Roadmap

To become a platform, Reaktor is being developed in four distinct phases, each with its own "demo day" deliverable.

Phase 1: Foundation (Q2 2026)​

Theme: "Make it real for one external developer."

  • Testing: Add a comprehensive test suite to all six stable modules using kotlin.test.
  • Publishing: Publish engine modules to Maven Central via GitHub Actions.
  • Documentation: Launch a Docusaurus site at docs.reaktor.dev.
  • CLI: Build reaktor-cli (npx create-reaktor-app) with templates.
  • Graph Visualizer: Export running graphs to React Flow for interactive debugging.

Phase 2: Developer Experience (Q3 2026)​

Theme: "Make it faster than the alternatives."

  • Schema DSL: Generate FlexBuffer schemas, Kotlin data classes, and TypeScript types from a single definition.
  • GenUI: Server-driven UI rendering for Compose Multiplatform and React from FlexBuffer schemas.
  • Hot Reload: Use reaktor-ffi with Hermes to push logic updates without an app store release.
  • Telemetry Dashboard: Shipping traces to Grafana/Tempo for per-node latency breakdown.

Phase 3: Ecosystem (Q4 2026)​

Theme: "Make it impossible to ignore."

  • Module Registry: Launch reaktor-modules.dev as a searchable registry.
  • Shadow/Replay: Capture and replay application traffic for regression testing without production databases.
  • Multi-Tenant Infrastructure: Automated provisioning of k3s tenants with Supabase DBs.
  • Mesh Networking: Distributed pub/sub over WebRTC for real-time features.
  • Open Source Launch: Release under the AGPL 2.0 license with contributing guidelines.

Phase 4: Scale (H1 2027)​

Theme: "Make it the default choice."

  • Enterprise Features: SSO/SAML support, audit logging, and SLA monitoring.
  • IDE Plugin: IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin for graph visualization and port wiring validation.
  • Reaktor Cloud: Managed hosting option on k3s + Cloudflare for teams.
  • Certification Program: Online course and certification for Reaktor developers.
  • Revenue Model: Transition to a "free engine + paid cloud hosting" royalty model adapted for SaaS.
