Financial trading firms, fintech teams, and real-time system developers requiring ultra-low-latency messaging and fault-tolerant distributed infrastructure

About Aeron

Aeron is a high-performance, open source messaging and clustering technology designed to power ultra-low-latency, fault-tolerant distributed systems, particularly in electronic trading and real-time data environments. It focuses on delivering predictable microsecond-level latency and extremely high throughput, enabling applications to process millions of messages per second while maintaining strong reliability. The Aeron suite includes Aeron Transport for high-performance unicast, multicast, and IPC messaging, Aeron Archive for ultra-fast message recording and replay with zero message loss, and Aeron Cluster for fault-tolerant distributed state replication using replicated log architecture. Its brokerless design reduces hardware overhead and operational costs while allowing systems to run on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid deployments. Aeron supports multiple programming languages, including Java, C/C++, and .NET.

Dqlite
Dqlite
Dqlite is a fast, embedded, persistent SQL database with Raft consensus that is perfect for fault-tolerant IoT and Edge devices. Dqlite (“distributed SQLite”) extends SQLite across a cluster of machines, with automatic failover and high-availability to keep your application running. It uses C-Raft, an optimised Raft implementation in C, to gain high-performance transactional consensus and fault tolerance while preserving SQlite’s outstanding efficiency and tiny footprint. C-Raft is tuned to minimize transaction latency. C-Raft and dqlite are both written in C for maximum cross-platform portability. Published under the LGPLv3 license with a static linking exception for maximum compatibility. Includes common CLI pattern for database initialization and voting member joins and departures. Minimal, tunable delay for failover with automatic leader election. Disk-backed database with in-memory options and SQLite transactions.
