FINOS Morphir
Goldbaum, Stephen
Dear FINOS Community,
I am pleased to announce that Morphir has been successfully contributed into FINOS. Morphir was originally developed at Morgan Stanley from the desire to give our business users more application transparency while also protecting our core business logic from rapid changes in technology. At its core, Morphir defines a standard structure for storing business logic and a set of tools to enable producing and consuming that logic across languages and technologies. It has been used to consolidate rules and calculations, share logic across systems, automate live documentation, automate boilerplate code, and more.
Morphir is in active development and it will be exciting to see how it can contribute to the broader FINOS ecosystem. The current streams of focus are:
• Multi-Language Support – Morphir supports writing and executing models in multiple languages. We currently generate JVM (via Scala) and JavaScript. We are working with Microsoft Research to also enable Bosque as a language for specifying Morphir models.
• Application Modeling – Using Morphir so service developers write pure business logic and the rest is automated. Our initial project generates and deploys a full Dapr project from a Morphir model. We’re now doing the same for the Spring Boot technology stack.
• Unified Stream & Batch Data Processing – Using Morphir to write data process models that can run across database and streaming technologies. We’re currently focusing on Spark and hope to expand to SQL, Kafka Streams, Flink, Hazelcast, etc.
• Visualization Tools – Enabling automated documentation and live audit tools through a set of standard UI components.
• Within FINOS - We anticipate applicability to the Alloy and FinReg initiatives.
The progress and potential in all of these projects depends on community contributions; from coding to documentation. Please visit the welcome page and main repo in GitHub for more information and feel free to contact us via GitHub Issues or directly through email.
