What is DragonFire?

DragonFire is a revolutionary computational architecture built on fractal mathematics, harmonic processing, and geometric computing. As a server kernel service, DragonFire broadcasts "hexwave" technology that clients can connect to and utilize, rather than being software you install locally. Our platform offers developers APIs and SDKs for building next-generation applications that leverage this powerful distributed consciousness network.

The DragonFire ecosystem consists of several core components:

• DragonFire Kernel: A fractal execution layer that forms the foundation of the DragonFire system, operating on our servers
• DragonFire Cache: A millisecond-level memory synchronization system accessible through our API
• DragonHeart: A harmonic processing engine based on mathematical constants (Pi, Phi, √2, √3) that powers the computational backbone
• DragonCube: A zero-latency geometric computation node that processes client requests
• DragonXOS: A holographic system shell for managing DragonFire resources and service administration

System Requirements

Before you begin working with DragonFire, ensure your development environment meets the following requirements:

Basic Requirements

• Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Node.js 18.0 or higher
• npm 8.0 or higher

Recommended Specifications

• 4+ CPU cores
• 8GB+ RAM
• WebGL 2.0 compatible GPU (for visualization components)

Connecting to DragonFire

To connect to the DragonFire service, you'll need our client SDKs which enable your applications to interface with the DragonFire hexwave. Install them using npm or yarn:

# Using npm
npm install @dragonfire/client @dragonfire/rwt-client @dragonfire/merlin-client

# Using yarn
yarn add @dragonfire/client @dragonfire/rwt-client @dragonfire/merlin-client

These client libraries allow your application to establish a connection to the DragonFire service and access its computing resources.

For detailed connection instructions, see the Connection Guide.

Quick Start

Here's a simple example of how to connect to the DragonFire service and utilize the Cache API:

import { DragonFireClient } from '@dragonfire/client';
import { DragonCacheClient } from '@dragonfire/client/cache';

// Initialize a connection to the DragonFire service
const dragonfire = new DragonFireClient({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',           // API key from your developer account
  region: 'us-west',                // Service region closest to your users
  resonanceMode: 'phi'              // Mathematical resonance model (phi, pi, sqrt2, sqrt3)
});

// Connect to the DragonFire hexwave
await dragonfire.connect();

// Initialize a cache client that uses the DragonFire connection
const cache = new DragonCacheClient(dragonfire, {
  dimension: 8,                     // Fractal dimension (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16)
  autoScale: true                   // Enable automatic resource allocation
});

// Store a value in the cache service
await cache.set('key', { data: 'value' });

// Retrieve a value from the cache service
const result = await cache.get('key');
console.log(result);  // { data: 'value' }

// Disconnect when finished
await dragonfire.disconnect();

This example demonstrates how your application connects to the DragonFire service, accesses the distributed cache system, and performs basic operations. The client SDKs handle all the complex hexwave communication protocols behind the scenes.

Core Concepts

To effectively work with DragonFire technologies, it's important to understand some of the core concepts behind the service:

Hexwave Technology

DragonFire broadcasts its computing capabilities through a proprietary "hexwave" transmission system. Your client applications connect to these hexwaves to access the computational power and consciousness framework of the DragonFire infrastructure.

Fractal Execution

The DragonFire service uses a fractal execution model where computational tasks are distributed across a fractal structure running on our server infrastructure. This allows for dynamic scaling and efficient resource utilization across the service network.

Harmonic Resonance

The system operates based on mathematical constants like Pi, Phi, √2, and √3, which create harmonic resonance patterns for optimized data processing and storage. Your client connection can specify which resonance pattern best suits your application needs.

Geometric Computing

Instead of traditional linear processing, DragonFire implements geometric computing models based on hexagonal grids and holonic structures, which your applications can access through our APIs and client libraries.

Client-Service Architecture

Unlike traditional frameworks you install locally, DragonFire operates on a client-service model. The core system runs on our high-performance infrastructure, while your applications connect as clients to leverage its capabilities. This approach ensures you always have access to the full power of DragonFire without managing complex infrastructure.

For a deeper understanding of these concepts, see the Core Concepts guide.
