lasp-lang/partisan

Partisan is a distributed overlay network library for Erlang/OTP that enables reliable, high-performance communication between nodes in a cluster. It provides a pluggable architecture for broadcast substrates and remote procedure calls, supporting multiple membership and consensus protocols. The system includes comprehensive tooling for static analysis, automated testing, and performance benchmarking to ensure correctness and measure throughput.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 1 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 019848dbba — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
