DGen

dgen provides a distributed gen_server.

Motivation

I love gen_server. There are only 2 things stopping me from writing my entire app with them:

1. Durability: The state is lost when the process goes down.
2. High availability: The functionality is unavailable when the process goes down.

Let's try to solve this with a distributed system, and find out if an app actually can be written with only gen_servers.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding dgen to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:dgen, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/dgen.
