Nact is a Node.js/TypeScript framework implementing the actor model, inspired by Akka and Erlang, for building resilient, stateful server applications. It provides actor systems with out-of-the-box event sourcing support for managing state and reducing coupling in services.

Use cases

  • build actor-based services in node.js
  • implement event sourcing in javascript
  • manage stateful concurrent services without locks
  • model microservices with message passing
  • replace redux-style state management on the server
  • build resilient distributed systems in typescript

When to choose

  • you want Akka/Erlang-style actors in the Node.js ecosystem
  • you need event sourcing with an actor model
  • you want lightweight stateful concurrency without thread management

When to avoid

  • you need location transparency or cluster distribution today
  • you need a framework with frequent releases and active development
  • you're targeting environments other than Node.js 8+
