...It formalizes the roles of producers, consumers, and producer-consumers, using back-pressure so that fast producers don’t overwhelm downstream stages. Developers implement callbacks like handle_demand and handle_events to control how items are emitted, transformed, and consumed across asynchronous boundaries. Because stages are OTP processes, you gain fault tolerance, supervised restarts, and concurrency tuned via configurable demand and partitioning. GenStage underpins higher-level libraries like Flow and Broadway, but it can also be used directly for custom pipelines where timing and throughput matter. Its clear separation of concerns encourages testable, composable stages that can be rearranged as requirements evolve. ...
