libcluster provides automatic cluster formation and node discovery for Erlang/Elixir applications, removing the manual steps typically required to connect distributed nodes. It ships with multiple pluggable strategies—such as DNS polling, Kubernetes integration, EC2 metadata/tag discovery, UDP gossip, and EPMD helpers—so you can adapt clustering to your runtime environment. The library supervises a topology process that continually discovers peers and joins or prunes nodes as they become...

...Its design embraces OTP principles, using supervised processes and fault-tolerant messaging to keep the registry resilient under failures. Developers can co-locate Swarm with their existing supervision trees to scale workers horizontally without writing custom clustering code. Typical use cases include globally unique workers, sharded consumers, and presence-like coordination where node churn is expected. By turning registry and handoff into configuration and callbacks, Swarm reduces the complexity of multi-node deployments.
