Yuclase

High-Performance Message Queue System

Go BackendMessage QueueClusteringReal-time

Project Overview

🏗️ Single Repository Architecture

Yuclase is a single Go repository containing the complete message queue implementation. Installation and setup instructions are available in the repository's README.

Yuclase is a high-performance message queue system built from scratch in Go, designed for scalability, reliability, and low-latency message processing. It provides persistent storage, clustering capabilities, and real-time messaging with support for multiple consumers and producers.

The system features a custom binary protocol for efficient communication, disk-based persistence for durability, and a distributed architecture that can scale horizontally across multiple nodes. Built with performance in mind, it handles thousands of messages per second with minimal latency.
