C++ Actor Framework
An open-source C++ framework implementing the Actor Model for building scalable, high-performance concurrent and distributed applications.
What is C++ Actor Framework?
CAF (C++ Actor Framework) is an open-source framework that implements the Actor Model in C++, enabling developers to build concurrent and distributed applications with high performance and scalability. It provides abstractions for actors, message passing, and data flows, allowing software to run efficiently on single machines or across clusters. The framework solves the complexity of managing concurrency and distribution by offering a structured, actor-based approach.
C++ developers building concurrent, distributed, or networked applications that require scalability and maintainability, such as backend services, real-time systems, or data processing pipelines.
Developers choose CAF for its combination of high-level actor abstractions with native C++ performance, eliminating the need to trade productivity for speed. Its support for distributed actors, pattern matching, and built-in networking makes it a comprehensive solution for modern scalable software.
