Concepts

Concept pages explain how Elura fits together and why its boundaries exist. Read them when you need to choose an architecture or understand runtime behavior; use Guides for implementation steps.

Start here

• Architecture explains the Gateway, World, application, and infrastructure boundaries.
• Realtime gameplay explains how simulation, AOI, replication, prediction, interpolation, and rewind compose.
• Sessions and routing follows authentication, reconnects, ownership, routing, and push delivery.
• ELR2 protocol describes framing, message kinds, reserved routes, validation, and compatibility.

The same mental model applies to a local monolith, split processes, and a distributed deployment. Only the infrastructure implementations change.
