Watermill
A Go library for building event-driven applications with message streams, supporting various pub/sub implementations.
What is Watermill?
Watermill is a Go library that simplifies building event-driven applications by providing tools to work efficiently with message streams. It solves the complexity of distributed systems communication, enabling patterns like event sourcing, CQRS, and sagas with a unified interface. Developers can use various pub/sub implementations such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or even HTTP and SQL databases, making it versatile for different infrastructure needs.
Go developers building scalable, distributed services who need to implement event-driven architectures, message processing, or stream-based communication without deep expertise in low-level messaging protocols.
Watermill stands out by offering a simple, universal API that abstracts the intricacies of message brokers, combined with proven stability, extensive middleware support, and high performance. It lowers the barrier to entry for event-driven development while providing the flexibility needed for production systems.
