Ergo
An actor-based framework for building distributed, event-driven systems in Go, inspired by Erlang with network transparency.
What is Ergo?
Ergo is a framework that implements Erlang's actor model and fault-tolerance patterns in Go. It enables developers to build complex, distributed applications with high reliability and performance by using isolated processes (actors) that communicate via message passing, with built-in network transparency and supervision trees for self-healing systems.
Go developers building distributed, fault-tolerant systems such as microservices, real-time backends, or networked applications that require high concurrency and resilience. It is particularly suited for teams familiar with or inspired by Erlang/OTP design principles.
Developers choose Ergo to leverage Erlang's battle-tested concurrency and fault-tolerance patterns within the Go ecosystem, without external dependencies. Its unique selling point is network transparency—actors interact identically whether local or remote—combined with high performance (over 21 million messages/sec locally) and ready-to-use components for rapid development.
