Kino - framework for building Actor networks

Build status NuGet version

Kino

Kino is a simple communication framework based on Actor model.

Unicast, multicast and direct message addressing, delivery-to-node confirmation, callbacks (routing response message to the resumption actor). Rendezvous service provides actors auto-discovery and reduces amount of required configuration. Actors can be single- or multithreaded.

Supported Platforms: .NET 4.7, .NET Core 2.1

What's new

Partner Rendezvous clusters can be configured to access actors from other networks.

It is simple!

Define an Actor:

public class MyMessageProcessor : Actor
{
    [MessageHandlerDefinition(typeof (MyMessage))]
    public async Task<IActorResult> MyMessageHandler(IMessage message)
    {
        // method body
    }
}

Send a Message:

// Just create a message you would like to send
IMessage request = Message.CreateFlowStartMessage(new MyMessage());
// Define result message you would like to receive
ICallbackPoint callbackPoint = CallbackPoint.Create<ResultMessage>();
// Now, send the message. No need to know actor address, ID or anything else!
IPromise promise = messageHub.Send(request, callbackPoint);
// Wait for result
ResultMessage result = promise.GetResponse().Result.GetPayload<ResultMessage>();
