Riker is an Actor Model framework for Rust for building concurrent, resilient applications with actor supervision, pub/sub messaging, and event sourcing/CQRS support. It is modular, has a low memory footprint, and runs on resource-limited hardware.

Use cases

• build concurrent applications in Rust with the actor model
• implement fault-tolerant systems with actor supervision
• build event-sourced CQRS applications
• run actors on resource-limited hardware like single-board computers
• schedule and publish/subscribe messages between actors
• run Rust futures alongside long-lived stateful actors

When to choose

• you want Akka-style actor concurrency in Rust
• you need supervision hierarchies for failure isolation and recovery
• you want event sourcing and CQRS with a low memory footprint
• you prefer no unsafe code and no GC/VM overhead

When to avoid

• you need clustering or remote actors today - it is still on the roadmap
• you want a heavily maintained, actively developed framework
• you only need short-lived stateless workloads - plain futures/async may suffice
