  Seneca is a microservices toolkit for Node.js that uses a pattern-matching
  approach to message handling. It provides transport independence, allowing
  services to communicate over HTTP, TCP, or message queues without changing
  business logic. Seneca emphasizes simplicity and composability through its
  plugin-based architecture.
