\n\n# Andera Worker Core\n\n**Andera** is a high-performance, open-source Task Orchestration Platform (TOP) designed for simplicity, flexibility, and scalability.\n\n---\n\n## What is Andera?\n\nAndera is composed of three main components:\n- **Load Balancer:** Routes and prioritizes tasks, manages worker clusters, and provides a dashboard for monitoring.\n- **Base Worker:** Template for building your own custom workers.\n- **Worker Core:** The core engine for all workers.\n\nLearn more: [Andera Documentation](https://andera.top/docs/)\n\n---\n\n## About Worker Core\n\nWorker Core is the engine for all Andera-based workers. \nIt is never used standalone, but always as a dependency of a Base Worker. \nIt provides orchestration, slot management, contract validation, logging, and runtime for building high-performance, distributed workers.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- Slot orchestration and management\n- Contract validation\n- Logging and monitoring\n- Runtime for distributed workers\n\nSee [Worker Core Documentation](https://andera.top/docs/worker-core/introduction/).\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\nWorker Core is not meant to be used directly. \nTo use it, create a new worker using the [Base Worker template](https://andera.top/docs/base-worker/introduction/).\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\nSee [Base Worker Usage](https://andera.top/docs/base-worker/usage/) for how to use Worker Core in your own worker. Worker Core is not tested directly. To verify that Worker Core is working correctly, test a Base Worker that depends on it:\n\n1. Start your Base Worker (see its README for instructions).\n2. Use the health check and function call endpoints as described in the [Base Worker Testing Guide](https://andera.top/docs/base-worker/test/).\n\nIf your Base Worker responds correctly, Worker Core is functioning as expected.\n\n---\n\n## Useful Links\n\n- [Andera Documentation](https://andera.top/docs/)\n- [Worker Core Reference](https://andera.top/docs/worker-core/)\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nAndera is open source and community-driven!\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for repository guidelines, and [How to Contribute](https://andera.top/docs/contribute) for the project's philosophy and license.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nFor license details, see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
