Nerve Framework

High-Performance In-Process Reactive System with QoS Guarantees

Overview

Nerve Framework is a sophisticated in-process reactive system designed for real-time communication and data processing. Built with Rust for maximum performance and reliability, it provides:

  • QoS Guarantees: Four distinct quality-of-service levels
  • Low Latency: Sub-millisecond message routing
  • High Throughput: Thousands of messages per second
  • Memory Safety: Rust-powered thread safety
  • Flexible Architecture: Modular component design

Quick Start

# Add to your Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
nerve = "0.1.0"

use nerve::prelude::*;
use nerve::communication::pubsub::{Publisher, Subscriber};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut publisher = Publisher::new();
    let mut subscriber = Subscriber::new();

    subscriber.subscribe("sensor.data").await?;
    publisher.publish("sensor.data", "temperature: 25.5").await?;

    Ok(())
}
