flic – Easy Inter-process Communication via TCP for Node.js

In plain words

Flic is a Node.js library that simplifies inter-process communication over TCP connections. It enables different processes to communicate with each other through a straightforward interface. The tool is designed for developers building Node.js applications that require reliable process-to-process messaging. Flic handles the underlying TCP protocol complexity, making it easier to implement distributed communication patterns without dealing with low-level networking details directly.

  Comprehensive inter-process communication (IPC) toolkit in modern C++2024 · github.com · ▲88

  If you work in C++, and you would like 2+ programs to share data structures (and/or native I/O handles a.k.a. FDs) among each other, there is a good chance Flow-IPC - will make it considerably less annoying to code than typical approaches; and - may massively reduce the latency involved. Those sharing Cap'n Proto-encoded data may have particular interest. Cap'n Proto (https://capnproto.org) is fantastic at its core task - in-place serialization with zero-copy - and we wanted to make the IPC (inter-process communication) involving capnp-serialized messages be zero-copy,…

  Iceoryx2 – Fast IPC Library for Rust, C++, and C2024 · ekxide.io · ▲122

  Hello everyone, Today we released iceoryx2 v0.4! iceoryx2 is a service-based inter-process communication (IPC) library designed to make communication between processes as fast as possible - like Unix domain sockets or message queues, but orders of magnitude faster and easier to use. It also comes with advanced features such as circular buffers, history, event notifications, publish-subscribe messaging, and a decentralized architecture with no need for a broker. For example, if you're working in robotics and need to process frames from a camera across multiple processes, iceoryx2 makes it…

  JS library to make your website instant▲426

  http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant. It works like this: before clicking on a link, you'll hover over it. And there's a delay of 200-300 ms between these two events. InstantClick uses this delay to preload a page, when you click on a link it will display instantly in most case. (You can test on the website.) That's…
