A plurality of nodes may be arranged within a hierarchy to perform actions, each node may perform a task associated an action. A dependency evaluator may determine, based on a request to perform an action, the first subset of the nodes configured to perform the action, wherein a first node of a higher level of the hierarchy is dependent upon a response from a second node of a lower level of the hierarchy to perform a task associated with the action. A request engine may provide the request to a lowest level of the hierarchy, wherein the second node of the lowest level may perform a task associated with the requested action and respond to the dependent first node. A response engine may receive the response from one of the nodes on a highest level of the hierarchy, including a performance of the tasks and the requested action.
