Slice

Slice is a framework that makes it easy to build applications out of reusable, composable modules.

Application lifecycle

1. init slice configuration: debug, env, name, description, etc.
2. provide default variables: Name, Debug, Env, Log, Args
3. provide default components: context
4. load bundles configuration from environment
5. build bundles: provide bundle types
6. boot bundles: invoke custom bundle functions
7. invoke dispatch function
8. shutdown bundles: invoke custom bundle functions
9. cleanup container
