Seastar
A high-performance, event-driven C++ framework for building asynchronous, non-blocking server-side applications.
What is Seastar?
Seastar is a high-performance, event-driven C++ framework for building asynchronous, non-blocking server-side applications. It uses a shared-nothing architecture and futures-based programming to maximize throughput and minimize latency on modern multi-core hardware. The framework is particularly suited for systems requiring extreme performance, such as databases, real-time data processing, and network servers.
C++ developers building high-throughput, low-latency server applications like databases, real-time systems, and network services. It's also relevant for those working on performance-critical projects that need to leverage multi-core and NUMA architectures efficiently.
Developers choose Seastar for its unparalleled performance on modern hardware, thanks to its shared-nothing design and userspace TCP/IP stack. It provides a straightforward asynchronous programming model with futures, making it easier to write scalable, non-blocking code compared to traditional threading approaches.
