Help: who knows which companies or projects are using Ergo?

Hi, @halturin I would like to use your project in our production environment, but my boss has asked me to provide evidence of its adoption by major companies or projects. I know it might sound a bit silly, but if you could share the names of some big companies you know that are using it, I would really appreciate it.

Honestly, I’d focus more on what the framework enables and why teams pick it, rather than trying to find a long list of public “big names”. Most systems built with it are the kind of stuff that lives in private networks/closed environments (internal platforms, infra services, distributed backends), so people usually don’t publish architecture details.

That said, it has been used in production in a few real systems -e.g. Samsung’s Smart TV backend (ad platform). You can also see usage in the wild via Platform Engineering Labs (https://github.com/platform-engineering-labs). And as far as I know, projects like dYdX (https://github.com/dydxprotocol/) and 3Commas (https://3commas.io/) are currently evaluating or moving toward it.

Teams usually choose it for pretty practical reasons: it keeps the concurrency/supervision model straightforward, plays nicely with Erlang/OTP, and helps structure highly concurrent systems without extra “framework weight”.

Also worth mentioning: it has zero external dependencies, which is a big plus for companies that care about stability, upgrades, or minimizing supply-chain risk.

And it’s a pretty natural option if you’re coming from older Erlang-based solutions and want a more modern stack/tooling, while still keeping the OTP ideas instead of rewriting everything from scratch.

Yes, I share the same view. I provided sufficient reasoning based on data and engineering analysis, but unfortunately, engineers don't always have the final say. Anyway, I'm very grateful. I've read through the source code thoroughly, and it truly is the coolest actor implementation in the Go ecosystem.
