Bastion – Highly-available distributed fault-tolerant runtime

I have hard time understanding what this is. Is an alternative to docker somehow? What other framework/platform would bastion compete with?

It provides a distributed actor runtime a la Erlang, but for Rust.

The Getting Started example gives some useful insights:

It's a library in rust for actor-model programming like erlang does.

So did it. I didn't know if it was a service or a library or if it integrates with something. Looks like it's a library for Rust. I think mentioning Rust would speed up the understanding of where this sits

Yes. the title was changed which I wasn't aware of.

Origin title: `The missing part of actor-model programming in rust`.

It’s more like Nats.io - an async message server, just for rust

Looks like Akka Cluster for rust?
