Principles

1. We must hide massive complexity behind a simple, reliable interface.
2. We are the substrate other applications run upon; we are not the application, we are the infrastructure.
3. Developers have to use a language they know and use already. No invention of new languages.
4. We have to run with as small of overhead as possible, zero overhead.
5. Highly stable and clean contracts.
6. We do not build wrappers over existing tools; we build and integrate everything we need. Vertical integration.
7. Zero breaking updates across the ecosystem. Workloads, state schemas, and protocols introduced in a Podomy repository will execute without breaking changes on any future 1.x release.
