The actor model is a design pattern in concurrent computing that treats "actors" as the fundamental units of computation, allowing them to communicate with each other through message passing. This model is particularly relevant to the tech community as it provides a scalable and fault-tolerant approach to building distributed systems, making it a popular choice for developing high-performance and concurrent applications in various fields, including cloud computing, microservices architecture, and real-time data processing.
