Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could build a distributed orchestrator from from scratch without relying on heavy external infrastructure like Postgres, Redis, or Kafka. The strict rule was: everything must run from a single binary. The core engine is zero dependency single jar. The UI and other parts are flask and thats it. The result is an open-source project I call Titan. Before diving in, this is the base comparison I want to put forward to avoid confusion Titan is a zero-dependency distributed execution runtime. It assumes your compute infrastructure already exists, and acts as the application layer on top of it by coordinating dynamic DAGs, managing long-running detached processes, and sharing cross-node state without requiring an external database. Is it like Kubernetes? No. Kubernetes provisions virtual networks and orchestrates Docker containers. Titan doesn't know what a container is; it orchestrates host-level processes. ​Is it like Terraform/Ansible? No.…
