go-actor examples

This repository hosts various examples for go-actor.

How to use examples

To make the most out of these examples, read each example package found in the /example directory. Every example has a bootstrap.go file that sets up the logic and explains the idea behind the example. It is also advised to read other source files in the example directory (package).

Each example can be executed with the following command:

make run 1  # replace 1 with the desired example number
