Talon is a platform to build, run and manage micro applications (‘micro app’). Talon micro apps are lightweight, stateful apps message processors that reside on a messaging fabric. They are driven by messaging and communicate with other micro apps using eventing message passing on a guaranteed messaging fabric. Talon apps are powered by the AEP engine which provides atomic and exactly-once message/event processing capabilities , and the Talon XVM which serves as that the manageable container for hosting Talon micro apps.

A Talon Server or XVM hosts one or more Talon applications and provides additional operational capabilities including statistics collection and reporting (heartbeats), lifecycle management and events, alert reporting and remote command invocation (CnC)
