Obsoleted by [`PartitionSupervisor`](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/PartitionSupervisor.html)

## Introduction

`Agency` is an abstraction layer above `Agent` allowing to use any

container supporting `Access` behind and simplifying the client API

handling.

`Agency` itself implements `Access` behaviour, making it possible to

embed instances in the middle of `Access.keys` chains.

In a nutshell, `Agency` backs up the `Agent` holding a container.

All the standard CRUD-like calls are done through containers’

`Access` implementation, allowing transparent shared access.

The set of `after_***/1` functions are introduced, so that the main

`Agent` feature distinguishing it from the standard `GenServer`

holding state—namely, a separation of client and server APIs—is

exposed transparently to the consumers.

## Installation

```elixir

def deps do

  [

    {:agency, "~> 0.1"}

  ]

end

```

### Changelog

- **`0.3.1`** `Agency.Multi` support is not optional anymore

- **`0.3.0`** `Agency.Multi` supporting the locally distributed agency (eliminating `:gen_server` mailbox bottleneck)
