Compiling to Containers
summary
Toolchain claim is concrete: JavaScript code compiles to Docker containers and deploys to Kubernetes using a proof of concept called Metaparticle compiler that packages functions, creates services and runs them with kubectl. Demos show a 3‑replica round robin, a 10‑replica scatter gather that returns 100 random samples per leaf and a sharded service, plus replicated counter backed by Redis using optimistic concurrency that survives parallel bursts producing ~18–22 increments. All examples build images and deploy successfully.
