Arbiter

Welcome to the Arbiter documentation!

What is Arbiter?

Arbiter is a Rust-based, event-driven multi-agent framework that lets developers orchestrate strongly-typed, high-performance simulations and networked systems.

Arbiter provides the foundational types and traits for building actor-based systems with pluggable networking and lifecycle management. It is designed around a lightweight actor model tailored for discrete-event simulation, automated trading, and complex distributed systems.

Why use Arbiter?

• High Performance: Built in Rust for speed and safety.
• Event-Driven Architecture: Easily handle concurrent, asynchronous events via message passing.
• Simplicity: Straightforward traits (Actor, LifeCycle, Handler) reduce the boilerplate associated with distributed programming.
• Extensible: Designed to scale from local in-memory simulations to full network deployments.
