​
Overview

In standalone mode, GoAkt runs in a single process. All actors communicate in-process. No network or cluster setup is required.

​
When to use

  • Development and testing
  • Single-node deployments
  • Services that don’t need distribution

​
Configuration

Create an actor system with NewActorSystem and Start. No remoting or cluster options are needed. Actors are spawned under the user guardian and communicate via direct mailbox enqueue.

​
Limitations

  • No remoting: actors cannot span multiple processes
  • No clustering: no discovery, no relocation, no cluster singletons
  • Single point of failure: process crash stops everything
For multi-node deployments, see Clustered.
