Aeron Sequencer allows the development of state machine replication at scale via a globally ordered, highly available message log, capable of processing millions of messages a second at microsecond latency.
Technical capabilities/features
Core architecture
- Globally ordered log: Highly available log processing millions of messages per second with platform-wide ordering guarantees.
- State Machine Replication: Supports building state machine replication resulting in high availability, consistency, low latency, and high throughput at scale.
- Microsecond latency: Engineered to provide the latency performance required by today’s capital markets.
- Automatic failover: Fast recovery through snapshots and intelligent state management.
Developer experience
- Simple programming model: Single-threaded, deterministic applications without complex distributed systems code.
- Deterministic replay: Complete reproducibility for debugging, backtesting, and analysis.
- Rich client SDK: Clean, well-crafted SDKs make distributed systems complexity manageable through logical, composable interfaces.
- Operational tooling: Integrated monitoring and operational tooling to run your platform with confidence.
- Service-level decoupling Isolates business logic into separate services, allowing teams to own their specific domains and release on their own schedules.
Deployment flexibility
- Multiple availability modes: Active/active and active/passive for services.
- Cloud-native architecture: Designed for ephemeral hardware without multicast dependencies.
- On-premises support: Compatibility within dedicated hardware environments.
- Persistent audit trail: Complete history for consistency, fairness, and compliance requirements.
- 24/7 operations: Continuous operation with near zero-downtime maintenance and updates.
