About Aeron
Aeron
Efficient reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport
Aeron is a message transport library that moves messages between processes with efficient, reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast and shared-memory IPC. Clients are available in Java, C, C++ and .NET, and they can exchange messages across machines or on the same machine. Message streams can be recorded by the Archive module to persistent storage and replayed later or in real time. Aeron Cluster provides fault-tolerant services as replicated state machines based on the Raft consensus algorithm. Performance is the central goal, with the aim of the highest throughput and the lowest and most predictable latency of any messaging system. Messages are encoded with Simple Binary Encoding, and many of its data structures live in the Agrona project. The README links to a programming guide, configuration options, design overview, flow control semantics and performance testing notes, and the latest Java builds are on Maven Central. Aeron is owned by Adaptive Financial Consulting, which also offers training, consulting and proprietary enhancements such as kernel bypass with DPDK and encryption, through a separate Aeron Premium offer. The project is licensed under the Apache License.
