==Swarm (Elixir library)== [[File:Swarm logo.png|thumb|right|Swarm library logo]] '''Swarm''' is a powerful, open-source Elixir library designed for building distributed, fault-tolerant, and scalable applications. It provides a flexible framework for creating distributed systems using the actor model, enabling developers to build resilient and highly available applications. ==Features== Swarm offers the following key features: ===Actor-based Concurrency=== Swarm utilizes the actor model of concurrency, enabling developers to build concurrent and scalable systems. With Swarm, developers can easily create and manage actors, which are lightweight units of computation that communicate through message passing. ===Fault-tolerance and Resilience=== Swarm provides built-in fault-tolerance mechanisms, allowing applications to recover gracefully from failures. It supports automatic restarts of actors and provides supervision strategies to handle errors and ensure the overall stability of the system. ===Distribution and Scalability=== Swarm enables distribution of actors across multiple nodes, allowing applications to scale horizontally. It provides seamless integration with the Elixir distribution mechanism, making it easy to deploy and manage distributed systems. ===Transparent State Management=== Swarm simplifies state management by providing transparent state replication and synchronization. It allows developers to define stateful actors and ensures that the state remains consistent across multiple replicas. ===Message Routing=== Swarm provides flexible message routing mechanisms, allowing developers to control how messages are delivered to actors. It supports various routing strategies such as round-robin, random, and consistent hashing, enabling efficient message distribution in distributed systems. ==Related Articles== * [[Concurrency (Elixir programming)]] * [[Actor Model (Elixir)]] * [[Distributed Systems (Elixir)]] * [[Fault-tolerance (Elixir)]] * [[Scalability (Elixir)]] ==External Links== * [https://github.com/bitwalker/swarm Official GitHub Repository] * [http://hexdocs.pm/swarm Swarm Documentation] [[Category:Elixir (programming language)]] [[Category:Libraries (software)]] [[Category:Distributed Computing]]
