defmodule Commanded.Registration.Adapter do
  @moduledoc """
  Defines a behaviour for a process registry to be used by Commanded.

  By default, Commanded will use a local process registry, defined in
  `Commanded.Registration.LocalRegistry`, that uses Elixir's `Registry` module
  for local process registration. This limits Commanded to only run on a single
  node. However the `Commanded.Registration` behaviour can be implemented by a
  library to provide distributed process registration to support running on a
  cluster of nodes.
