Extending HyperBEAM with Devices

We encourage you to extend HyperBEAM with devices for functionality that is general purpose and reusable across different applications.

What are Devices?

As explained in the introduction, devices are the core functional units within HyperBEAM. They are self-contained modules that process messages and perform specific actions, forming the building blocks of your application's logic.

HyperBEAM comes with a set of powerful built-in devices that handle everything from process management (~process@1.0) and message scheduling (~scheduler@1.0) to executing WebAssembly (~wasm64@1.0) and Lua scripts (~lua@5.3a).

Creating Your Own Devices (Coming Soon)

We will create more in depth guides for building devices in Lua and Erlang in the future.
