# iii-hq/iii

**URL:** https://github.com/iii-hq/iii
**One-liner:** iii is a Rust-powered engine that reduces multi-service integration to three primitives (Workers, Triggers, Functions), with SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Rust, enabling effortless composition and real-time observability.
**Relevance to apollo-listen:** high (82/100)
**Integration:** cleanroom-rebuild

## Summary
Acoustic detection and localisation (Python) – cue data publisher.

## Why it's useful here
As an iii Worker, apollo-listen can register its detection functions and publish cue results directly to iii state, which apollo can subscribe to, eliminating the NATS pub-sub layer.

## Suggested use
Convert detection pipeline into iii functions; use iii triggers to push detection events to apollo worker.

## Novelty / why now
High novelty: offers a universal service mesh abstraction that works across languages and runtimes, with built-in observability, agent skills, and a single mental model for all service interactions.

## Risks
ELv2 license; acoustic processing may have streaming requirements that need careful mapping to iii function invocations.

### Reviewer safety notes
Low safety risk per scan; postinstall hooks absent, no suspicious patterns. However, engine uses Elastic License 2.0 (restrictive), SDKs are Apache-2.0. New project (495d) with rapid star growth (15.6k) – typical of hype cycles; verify long-term maintenance.
