## Frameworks, Libraries and Tools



### Application Frameworks



- [Actix](https://github.com/actix/actix) - Actor framework for Rust

- [Akka](https://github.com/akka/akka) - Build highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM [akka.io](https://akka.io)  

- [Akka.Net](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net) - Akka.NET is a professional-grade port of the popular Java/Scala framework Akka distributed actor framework to .NET. [getakka.net](https://getakka.net/)  

- [CAF: C++ Actor Framework](https://github.com/actor-framework/actor-framework) - CAF is an open source C++11 actor model implementation featuring lightweight & fast actor implementations, pattern matching for messages, network transparent messaging, and more.  

- [Comedy](https://github.com/untu/comedy) - Node.js actor framework.

- [Microsoft Orleans](https://github.com/dotnet/orleans) - Orleans is a cross-platform framework for building robust, scalable distributed applications  

- [Microsoft Service Fabric Reliable Actors](https://github.com/microsoft/service-fabric-services-and-actors-dotnet) - Reliable Actors is a Service Fabric application framework based on the Virtual Actor pattern. The Reliable Actors API provides a single-threaded programming model built on the scalability and reliability guarantees provided by Service Fabric. [Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-actors-introduction), [Service Fabric](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-actors-introduction)  

- [Microsoft Dapr Actors](https://github.com/dapr/docs/blob/master/concepts/actor/actor_overview.md) - Dapr runtime provides an actor implementation which is based on Virtual Actor pattern. The Dapr actors API provides a single-threaded programming model leveraging the scalability and reliability guarantees provided by underlying platform on which Dapr is running. [Dapr](https://github.com/dapr/dapr)  

- [Orbit](https://github.com/orbit/orbit) - Distributed systems framework for the JVM by @electronicarts. [www.orbit.cloud](http://www.orbit.cloud)  

- [Orleankka](https://github.com/OrleansContrib/Orleankka) - Orleankka is a functional extension for Microsoft Orleans framework. It provides a message-based API similar to Akka/ProtoActor, carefully layered on top of the Orleans (that's what in a name). Orleankka is an excellent choice for use-cases which can benefit from composable, uniform communication interface, such as CQRS, event-sourcing, FSM, etc.    

- [ProtoActor](https://github.com/AsynkronIT) - Ultra fast distributed actors for Go, C# and Java/Kotlin [proto.actor](http://proto.actor)  

- [Pykka](https://github.com/jodal/pykka) - Pykka is a Python implementation of the actor model, which makes it easier to build concurrent applications [www.pykka.org](https://www.pykka.org)  

- [Quasar](https://github.com/puniverse/quasar) - Fibers, Channels and Actors for the JVM. [docs](http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/)  

- [Riker](https://github.com/riker-rs/riker/) - Easily build efficient, highly concurrent and resilient applications. An Actor Framework for Rust. [riker.rs](https://riker.rs)  

- [Rotor](https://github.com/basiliscos/cpp-rotor) - Event loop friendly C++ actor micro-framework  

- [SObjectizer](https://github.com/Stiffstream/sobjectizer) - SObjectizer is one of a few cross-platform and OpenSource "actor frameworks" for C++. But SObjectizer supports not only Actor Model, but also Publish-Subscribe Model and CSP-like channels. The goal of SObjectizer is significant simplification of development of concurrent and multithreaded applications in C++.  

- [Tarant](https://github.com/tarantx) - Fullstack composable actor system for Typescript/Javascript implementing an extensible framework that allows to focus in domain logic and delegate the rest to the platform.

## Research



- [Microsoft Research - Orleans Virtual Actors](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/orleans-virtual-actors/) - Project “Orleans” invented the Virtual Actor abstraction, which provides a straightforward approach to building distributed interactive applications, without the need to learn complex programming patterns for handling concurrency, fault tolerance, and resource management.
