Apache Iggy
A persistent message streaming platform built in Rust for ultra-low latency and high throughput, supporting multiple transport protocols.
What is Apache Iggy?
Apache Iggy is a high-performance, persistent message streaming platform written in Rust, designed to process millions of messages per second with sub-millisecond latency. It solves the need for a dedicated streaming log built from the ground up for maximum efficiency and speed, utilizing a thread-per-core shared-nothing architecture and modern I/O like io_uring. Unlike extensions on existing infrastructure, it is a standalone system prioritizing raw performance and resource efficiency.
Developers and architects building real-time data pipelines, event-driven microservices, or high-throughput streaming applications that require predictable low latency and minimal resource usage. It is suited for teams needing a performant alternative to traditional message brokers like Kafka, especially in Rust or polyglot environments.
Developers choose Apache Iggy for its exceptional throughput and ultra-low latency achieved through a Rust-based, thread-per-core shared-nothing design with io_uring, avoiding garbage collection overhead. Its unique selling point is being a purpose-built streaming log from scratch, offering multiple transport protocols (QUIC, WebSocket, TCP, HTTP), persistent logs with configurable retention, and extensibility via Rust plugins and an MCP server for LLM integration.
