NAME

Zing - Multi-Process Management System

ABSTRACT

Actor Toolkit and Multi-Process Management System

SYNOPSIS

use Zing;

my $zing = Zing->new(scheme => ['MyApp', [], 1]);

# $zing->execute;

DESCRIPTION

This distribution includes an actor-model architecture toolkit and Redis-powered multi-process management system which provides primatives for building powerful, reactive, concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications in Perl 5. If you're unfamiliar with this architectural pattern, learn more about "the actor model".

INHERITS

This package inherits behaviors from:

Zing::Watcher

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:

Zing::Types

ATTRIBUTES

This package has the following attributes:

scheme

scheme(Scheme)

This attribute is read-only, accepts (Scheme) values, and is required.

METHODS

This package implements the following methods:

start

start() : Kernel

The start method builds a Zing::Kernel and executes its event-loop.

start example #1

# given: synopsis

$zing->start;

FEATURES

While this is, at present, a proof-of-concept, the API is not expected to change. The documentation is a work-in-progress. Please see the examples included for demonstrations of the objects in action. The following is a list of features currently supported by the framework:

parallel processing
asynchronous programming
event-driven applications
actor-model based framework
process (actor) mailboxes
distributed processes (actors)
erlang-style supervision trees
hot-reloadable processes (actors)
automated multi-process management
atomicity without lock management
multitasking processes (event-loop actors)
chainable/extendable process (actor) event-loops
none-blocking yieldable routines
high performance message queues
high performance message channels
high performance message passing
built-in high performance log shipping
operable as a cluster or single-node
resilient to memory leaks
no new funcs/idioms
no callbacks, futures or promises
no zombie processes
