Build NuGet package

Overview

The Disruptor is a high performance inter-thread message passing framework. This project is the .NET port of LMAX Disruptor.

The Disruptor can be succinctly defined as a circular queue with a configurable sequence of consumers. The key features are:

  • Zero memory allocation after initial setup (the events are pre-allocated).
  • Push-based consumers.
  • Optionally lock-free.
  • Configurable wait strategies.

Since version 7, the Disruptor also supports:

  • Inter-process communication using IpcDisruptor.
  • Native-AOT.

Releases

Supported runtimes

  • .NET 6.0+
  • .NET Standard 2.1

Basic usage

First, you need to define your event (message) type:

public class SampleEvent
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public double Value { get; set; }
}

You also need to create a consumer:

public class SampleEventHandler : IEventHandler<SampleEvent>
{
    public void OnEvent(SampleEvent data, long sequence, bool endOfBatch)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Event: {data.Id} => {data.Value}");
    }
}

Then you can create and setup the Disruptor:

var disruptor = new Disruptor<SampleEvent>(() => new SampleEvent(), ringBufferSize: 1024);

disruptor.HandleEventsWith(new SampleEventHandler());

disruptor.Start();

Finally, you can publish events:

using (var scope = disruptor.PublishEvent())
{
    var data = scope.Event();
    data.Id = 42;
    data.Value = 1.1;
}
