Hi Shaheed, This is interesting. Yes it is possible to implement a non Java Cartridge Agent (CA). The protocols that it needs to support would be:
1. AMQP to talk to message broker 2. Apache Thrift to talk to Complex Event Processor (CEP) In addition the VM should support Git to checkout deployment artifacts. We have written some basic descriptions on CA component architecture here [1]. I will prepare more detailed information and let you know.
