Quick Start

Basic Scraping Pipeline

use stygian_graph::{Pipeline, PipelineBuilder};
use stygian_graph::adapters::{HttpAdapter, NoopAdapter};
use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Define pipeline as JSON config
    let config = json!({
        "nodes": [
            {"id": "fetch", "service": "http"},
            {"id": "extract", "service": "noop"}
        ],
        "edges": [
            {"from": "fetch", "to": "extract"}
        ]
    });

    let pipeline = Pipeline::from_config(config)?;
    
    let input = json!({"url": "https://example.com"});
    let results = pipeline.execute(input).await?;
    
    println!("Extracted: {:?}", results);
    Ok(())
}

With Browser Rendering

use stygian_graph::adapters::{BrowserAdapter, BrowserAdapterConfig};
use std::time::Duration;

let config = BrowserAdapterConfig {
    timeout: Duration::from_secs(30),
    headless: true,
    default_stealth: StealthLevel::Advanced,
    ..Default::default()
};

let browser_adapter = BrowserAdapter::with_config(config);

With AI Extraction

use stygian_graph::adapters::{ClaudeAdapter, ClaudeConfig};

let config = ClaudeConfig {
    api_key: std::env::var("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")?,
    model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022".to_string(),
    max_tokens: 4096,
    ..Default::default()
};

let ai = ClaudeAdapter::with_config(config);

Domain Rules

• Zero I/O in domain — all external interactions through ports
• Dependency inversion — adapters depend on ports, never vice versa
• Typestate pattern — compile-time pipeline validation
• Zero-cost abstractions — generics over Arc/Box where possible

Pipeline Configuration

Define scraping flows as JSON:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "fetch_html",
      "service": "http",
      "config": {
        "timeout_ms": 10000,
        "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0..."
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "render_js",
      "service": "browser",
      "config": {
        "wait_strategy": "network_idle",
        "stealth_level": "advanced"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "extract_data",
      "service": "ai_claude",
      "config": {
        "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
        "schema": {
          "title": "string",
          "price": "number",
          "availability": "boolean"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "edges": [
    {"from": "fetch_html", "to": "render_js"},
    {"from": "render_js", "to": "extract_data"}
  ]
}

Validation

Pipelines are validated before execution:

1. Node integrity — IDs unique, services registered
2. Edge validity — all edges connect existing nodes
3. Cycle detection — Kahn's topological sort
4. Reachability — all nodes connected in single DAG

Adapters

HTTP Adapter

use stygian_graph::adapters::{HttpAdapter, HttpConfig};

let config = HttpConfig {
    timeout: Duration::from_secs(10),
    user_agent: Some("MyBot/1.0".to_string()),
    follow_redirects: true,
    max_redirects: 5,
};

let adapter = HttpAdapter::with_config(config);

Browser Adapter

Requires browser feature + stygian-browser crate:

use stygian_graph::adapters::{BrowserAdapter, BrowserAdapterConfig};

let adapter = BrowserAdapter::with_config(BrowserAdapterConfig {
    headless: true,
    viewport_width: 1920,
    viewport_height: 1080,
    ..Default::default()
});

AI Adapters

Claude (Anthropic):

use stygian_graph::adapters::ClaudeAdapter;

let adapter = ClaudeAdapter::new(
    std::env::var("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")?,
    "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
);

OpenAI:

use stygian_graph::adapters::OpenAiAdapter;

let adapter = OpenAiAdapter::new(
    std::env::var("OPENAI_API_KEY")?,
    "gpt-4o"
);

Gemini (Google):

use stygian_graph::adapters::GeminiAdapter;

let adapter = GeminiAdapter::new(
    std::env::var("GOOGLE_API_KEY")?,
    "gemini-2.0-flash"
);

Distributed Execution

Use Redis/Valkey for work queue backend:

use stygian_graph::adapters::{DistributedDagExecutor, RedisWorkQueue};

let queue = RedisWorkQueue::new("redis://localhost:6379").await?;
let executor = DistributedDagExecutor::new(queue, 10); // 10 workers

let results = executor.execute_wave("pipeline-1", tasks, &services).await?;

Observability

Prometheus Metrics

use stygian_graph::application::MetricsCollector;

let metrics = MetricsCollector::new();
let prometheus_handler = metrics.prometheus_handler();

// Expose on /metrics endpoint
axum::Router::new()
    .route("/metrics", axum::routing::get(prometheus_handler))

Structured Tracing

use tracing_subscriber::{layer::SubscriberExt, util::SubscriberInitExt};

tracing_subscriber::registry()
    .with(tracing_subscriber::EnvFilter::new(
        std::env::var("RUST_LOG").unwrap_or_else(|_| "stygian_graph=info".into())
    ))
    .with(tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer().json())
    .init();

Testing

# Unit tests
cargo test --lib

# Integration tests
cargo test --test integration

# All features (browser integration tests require Chrome)
cargo test --all-features

# Benchmarks
cargo bench

# Measure coverage (requires cargo-tarpaulin)
cargo tarpaulin -p stygian-graph --all-features --ignore-tests --out Lcov

Coverage: ~72% line coverage across 209 workspace tests. Key modules at or near 100%: config, executor, idempotency, service_registry, and all AI adapter unit tests. Adapters requiring live external services (HTTP, browser) are tested with mock ports.

Performance

• Concurrency: Tokio for I/O, Rayon for CPU-bound
• Zero-copy: Arc<str> for shared strings
• Lock-free: DashMap for concurrent access
• Pool reuse: HTTP clients, browser instances

Benchmarks (Apple M4 Pro):

• DAG executor: ~50µs overhead per wave
• HTTP adapter: ~2ms per request (cached DNS)
• Browser adapter: <100ms acquisition (warm pool)

Examples

See examples/ for complete pipelines:

• basic-scrape.toml — Simple HTTP → parse flow
• javascript-rendering.toml — Browser-based extraction
• multi-provider.toml — AI fallback chain
• distributed.toml — Redis work queue setup
