NSQ
A realtime distributed messaging platform
NSQ is an open-source, realtime distributed messaging platform designed for fault-tolerant, highly available topologies without single points of failure. It supports pub-sub and load-balanced message delivery, scales horizontally without centralized brokers, and ships with an admin UI, built-in discovery, and official Go and Python client libraries. Built in Go, it is easy to deploy with no runtime dependencies and pre-compiled releases for major operating systems.
NSQ runs decentralized nsqd daemons that producers publish to and consumers subscribe from, with an nsqlookupd directory service for discovery and an nsqadmin web UI for cluster management — all without centralized brokers.
