A node can be a server running any host operating system, a container living in the cloud somewhere, a rapsberry pi, or something else that needs to be controlled that have an operating system installed . The message passing backend used is <https://nats.io>
## Why ?
## Inspiration
The idea for how to handle processes, messages and errors are based on Joe Armstrongs idea behind Erlang described in his Thesis <https://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf>. This does mean it is done in exactly the same way, but more on how I understood those ideas and implemented them using the Go programming language with NATS as the message broker to get a fully decoupled message passing system to handle processes.
## Why
With existing solutions there is often either a push or a pull kind of setup.

In it's simplest form the idea about using an event driven system as the core for management of Edge units is that the sender/publisher are fully decoupled from the receiver/subscriber. We can get an acknowledge if a message is received or not, and with this functionality we will at all times know the current state of the receiving end. We can also add information in the ACK message if the command sent to the receiver was successful or not by appending the actual output of the command.

## Overview
All parts of the system like processes, method handlers, messages, error handling are running concurrently.
