What’s Next

Sandy’s journey from sandwich shop to franchise. What you learned, where to go.

Sandy’s Journey

Phase 1: Sandy's Sandwiches
  → Single file, CLI, Dict + Functions
  → Learned: Intent, Pipeline, Processor, Level

Phase 2: Sandy's Online
  → Web API, @route, TypedDict + Validation
  → Learned: DI, Error Handling, Middleware, Testing

Phase 3: Sandy's Franchise
  → Multi-location, Native IOP, Message Bus
  → Learned: Plugins, AI Agent, Parallel, Production

What You Learned

Level	Concepts	Syntax
Level 1	Intent, Pipeline, Processor, Context, Result	Native IOP
Level 2	@route, Validation, DI, Error Handling, Testing	@route
Level 3	Native IOP, Message Bus, Plugins, MCP, Parallel	Native + @controller

The Three IOP Levels

Level	Data	Best For
Dict + Functions	`dict`	Scripts, small tools
TypedDict + compose	`TypedDict`	Medium CLIs
Dataclass + decorator	`dataclass(frozen=True)`	Production systems

The Plugin Ecosystem

Sandy started with zero plugins. Here’s what she could add as she grows:

Plugin	When Sandy Needs It	What It Does
`evoid-sqlite`	Save orders to a database	SQLite storage engine
`evoid-redis`	Cache menu for speed	Redis cache with TTL
`evoid-auth`	Know who’s ordering	BYO auth providers
`evoid-di`	Manage database connections	3-tier dependency injection
`evoid-tasks`	Background order processing	Godot-inspired task lifecycle
`evoid-dashboard`	Monitor all locations	Web monitoring UI
`evoid-smart-storage`	Route data to the right DB	Multi-DB routing by level
`evoid-scheduler`	Priority orders when busy	System-aware priority scheduling
`evoid-cluster`	Connect 4 locations	Multi-node clustering
`evoid-godot`	Sandy’s sandwich video game	Godot game integration
`evoid-transport`	Low-latency game state	UDP transport for games

# Phase 2: + evoid-sqlite + evoid-redis + evoid-auth
# → Online shop with database, cache, login

# Phase 3: + evoid-cluster + evoid-dashboard + evoid-scheduler
# → 4 locations, monitoring, priority orders

# Bonus: + evoid-godot + evoid-transport
# → "Sandy's Sandwich Simulator" video game
```

Intent Levels Recap

Level	Pipeline	Timeout	Use Case
`ephemeral`	`validate`	5s	Cache, sessions, game state
`standard`	`validate`, `authorize`	10s	Profiles, orders, posts
`critical`	`validate`, `authorize`, `audit`, `protect`	30s	Payments, medical, legal

The Golden Rule

Start from Level 1. Upgrade only when it hurts. Never start at Level 3.

Sandy started with a dict and a function. She ended with a franchise. That’s IOP.
