QB Actor Framework: High-Performance C++17 Concurrent Systems

Welcome to the official documentation for the QB Actor Framework – your C++17 toolkit for crafting powerful, scalable, and maintainable concurrent and distributed applications.

QB empowers developers to build responsive, high-performance systems by elegantly integrating the Actor Model with a robust Asynchronous I/O Engine. Whether you're tackling real-time data processing, complex network services, or large-scale distributed computations, QB provides the tools and abstractions to simplify development and maximize efficiency.

This site offers a comprehensive guide, from foundational concepts and API details to practical examples and advanced usage patterns.
