Each driver implements common interfaces defined by ActorCore, including:

  • ActorDriver: Manages actor state, lifecycle, and persistence
  • ManagerDriver: Handles actor discovery, routing, and scaling
  • CoordinateDriver: Facilitates peer-to-peer communication between actor instances (only relevant for the coordinated topology)
