Gleam Actor Model
Gleam Actor Model
Introduction
Gleam leverages the Erlang VM's actor model, enabling lightweight concurrent processes that communicate through message passing. This model provides inherent fault tolerance, isolation, and scalability, making it ideal for building distributed systems.
The actor model in Gleam uses OTP (Open Telecom Platform) patterns including GenServers for stateful processes, supervisors for fault recovery, and message passing for inter-process communication. Each process has its own heap and communicates asynchronously, eliminating shared memory concerns.
This skill covers process creation and message passing, GenServer pattern for stateful actors, supervisors and fault tolerance, process linking and monitoring, selective receive, and patterns for building robust concurrent applications.
