Open source

Three components. One stack.

The Aeron^® open-source ecosystem is made up of three components that build on each other.

01 — Messaging

Aeron Transport

Delivers predictable single-digit microsecond latency and 20M+ msgs/sec throughput via secure unicast, multicast, and IPC messaging across on-prem and cloud, with Java, C/C++, and .NET support.

02 — Persistence

Aeron Archive

Allows message streams to be persisted to disk at full message rate, for replay in real-time or at a later date. This allows any service that may become disconnected to reconnect and reliably recover without message loss.

03 — Fault tolerance

Aeron Cluster

Enables resilient 24/7 workloads in the cloud, on-prem or in a hybrid environment. Automatic failover with zero data loss takes less than a second, minimising the impact on your business and ensuring critical data is retained.
