⁠VortexMQ ⚡

⁠Next-Generation Ultra-Fast Message Broker & Task Engine in Pure Go

VortexMQ is an ultra-high performance distributed message broker and streaming task engine written in 100% pure Go (zero CGO, zero Erlang, zero JVM).

It solves the operational bloat and GC pauses of legacy brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis Streams) by delivering a tiny 6.9 MB container that boots in <5 milliseconds and uses <15 MB RAM.

⁠🚀 Quick Start (1-Command Run)

Run VortexMQ with the embedded Web Studio and Redis-compatible protocol:

docker run -d \
  --name vortexmq \
  -p 8379:8379 \
  -p 8380:8380 \
  -v vortexmq_data:/data \
  ianshugarg/vortexmq:latest

⁠🔌 Ports Overview

• 8379: Core Broker Port (Drop-in Redis RESP2/Stream protocol)
• 8380: Quantum Web Studio (Live web dashboard & HTTP REST API)

⁠🌌 Quantum Web Studio Dashboard

Open your browser to: 👉 http://localhost:8380

• Live Pipeline Flow Visualizer: Real-time animated stream tracking messages moving from Producers ➜ Memory Rings ➜ Workers ➜ DLQ.
• Dead Letter Recovery Center: Inspect poisoned tasks with failure reasons and hit "⚡ 1-Click Replay" to re-dispatch them instantly.
• Interactive Message Playground: Test publishing events directly from your browser.
• Dark / Light Theme: Fluid toggle with persistent settings.

⁠💻 Connect with Any Redis Client

VortexMQ is drop-in compatible with standard Redis List and Stream commands:

# Publish an event to the "orders" topic
redis-cli -p 8379 RPUSH orders '{"item": "Laptop", "amount": 1200}'

# Consume the event
redis-cli -p 8379 RPOP orders

# Blocking wait (up to 5s)
redis-cli -p 8379 BRPOP orders 5

⁠📊 Benchmark Highlights

• Ring Buffer Throughput: 167.1 Million ops/sec (5.98 ns/op, 0 B/op allocations)
• Parallel Topic Publish: 2.33 Million msgs/sec
• Durable Disk Commits (WAL): 642,000 writes/sec (1.55 μs/op)
• Cold Boot Time: <5 ms (vs Kafka 20s, RabbitMQ 8s)
• Idle Memory: <15 MB (vs RabbitMQ 200MB+, Kafka 1.5GB+)
