Methods and systems for data are disclosed. A system implementation includes a data module for storing data received from an external source. The data module includes a file system for unstructured data, a database for structured data, a transform for operating upon unstructured or structured data, a data broker for receiving data having a first format and providing the data in a second format, a data network for communications within the data module, and a processing module for performing operations upon data. The processing module further includes a process broker and a process container. The process container is for providing one or more instances of processes during a runtime operation. The system further includes an inter-process network for communications within the processing module and an internal gateway for the data module to communicate with the processing module.
