A flexible and lightweight messaging library for distributed systems built with Rust and Tokio.

Overview

msg-rs is a messaging library that was inspired by projects like ZeroMQ and Nanomsg. It was built because we needed a Rust-native messaging library like those above.

Documentation

The 📖 [MSG-RS Book][book] contains detailed information on how to use the library.

Features

• Multiple socket types

• Pluggable transport layers

• Useful stats: latency, throughput, packet drops
• Durable IO abstraction (built-in retries and reconnections)
• Custom wire protocol with support for authentication and compression
• Network simulation mode with dummynet & pfctl
• Extensive benchmarks
• Integration tests

MSRV

The minimum supported Rust version is 1.89.0 (see rust-toolchain.toml).
