Message Lake 📮

Message Lake (msg-lake) is an open-source message exchanging platform designed to provide a simple and scalable solution for message-based communication between clients. It aims to provide an environment where clients can become or work as servers with a publish-subscribe model, enabling flexible and dynamic communication patterns.

Features

• Publish-Subscribe Model: Supports a publish-subscribe pattern for message exchange, allowing publishers to send messages to specific topics, and subscribers to receive messages from those topics.
• Scalability: Designed to scale horizontally to handle high message volumes and accommodate growing demands.
• Extensibility: Provides a flexible and extensible message protocol that can be easily integrated into existing systems.
• Efficiency: Optimized for efficient communication with minimal overhead.
• Interoperability: Supports multiple programming languages and platforms through Protocol Buffers (protobuf) for message serialization.
• Cluster: Supports clustering of Message Lake agents to achieve high availability and fault tolerance.

Getting Started

To get started with Message Lake, follow these steps:

1. Deploy a msg-lake agent with docker command:

docker run --network "host" --rm ghcr.io/h0n9/msg-lake:latest agent

Alternatively, you can use the docker-compose command to deploy a cluster of msg-lake agents:

docker-compose up

Make sure you have docker-compose installed if you choose to use the command above.

2. Open a new terminal session and connect to msg-lake agent using the docker command:

docker run --network "host" --rm -it ghcr.io/h0n9/msg-lake:latest client --topic "life-is-beautiful" --nickname "h0n9"
