libcluster
Automatic cluster formation and healing for Elixir applications with pluggable strategies.
What is libcluster?
Libcluster is an Elixir library that automates the formation and healing of clusters of Erlang nodes. It provides a pluggable strategy system to support various deployment environments, making distributed systems more resilient and easier to manage.
Elixir developers building distributed systems that require automatic node clustering, particularly those deploying on platforms like Kubernetes, Rancher, or using multicast UDP.
Developers choose libcluster for its flexible, extensible strategy system that works out-of-the-box with multiple clustering methods and allows custom implementations for specific infrastructure needs.
