  • I love my Italian Greyhounds so much, so this is great news to me.

  • Will it integrate directly with MQTT? Or should I use a MQTT broker and pipe into Iggy?

  • The real important topic (pun intended) for these kind of systems, is what happens, when one of the server is killed, what would the clients see from that. (Not to mention the juice network/DNS or EBS volume problems)

  • For those confused about what Iggy is, the post appears to be written for the Iggy community.

    Iggy is basically Kafka written in Rust that has yet to reach the distributed, clustered, fault tolerant stage. Looks cool for sure, but it has a ways to go.

  • I believe spetz is on the project, so I'd like to ask:

    Is this a MQ implementation, or can this be used in place of e.g. something like protobufs and iroh/tonic? Does it have something akin to grants/capabilities/authorization? Does it have RPC? Can I have services speak a more privileged set of instructions/commands and clients needing auth to speak dumber/more high level administrative commands just like gRPC?

    Also, is the performance due to the (what I assume is custom) zero copy serialization?

    The landing page simply states it's essentially "fast messaging" but beyond that it's not entirely clear when I'd use this or what its features/limitations are.

  • Apache Iggy™ has officially graduated from the Apache Incubator and is now an Apache Software Foundation Top-Level Project (TLP)

    It’s been quite a journey, from a small Rust message-streaming experiment in 2023 to an independent Apache project with a growing community. And its biggest feature yet, being the Viewstamped Replication Revisited (VSR) clustering, is coming soon.
