=== Overview === A GenServer is a concurrent process that maintains its own state and can receive and handle messages from other processes. It implements a client-server architecture where other processes can act as clients and make requests to the GenServer. The server process then handles these requests by processing the messages and possibly modifying its internal state. Vital features of GenServer include: * **Concurrency**: GenServer processes can run concurrently, allowing for parallel execution of tasks. * **Fault-tolerance**: GenServer provides mechanisms for handling errors and failures, ensuring robustness and reliability. * **State encapsulation**: GenServer encapsulates its state within its process, allowing for better modularity and code organization. * **Message passing**: Clients can communicate with the GenServer by sending messages, which are then processed and acted upon by the server process.
