Distributed Actors and Where They Live
summary
The talk examines advancing the actor model toward distributed actors by building a custom actor system for interacting with REST APIs, then comparing that to Apple’s distributed actor system. It demonstrates implementing a mesh P2P network using Multipeer Connectivity, includes lots of code and low-level explanation, and discusses designing a custom protocol for device-to-device/user interaction plus situations where distributed actors are not the right choice.
