The Disruptor is a high performance inter-thread message passing framework. This project is the .NET port of LMAX Disruptor.

The Disruptor can be succinctly defined as a circular queue with a configurable sequence of consumers. The key features are:

• Zero memory allocation after initial setup (the events are pre-allocated).
• Push-based consumers.
• Optionally lock-free.
• Configurable wait strategies.

Version 5.0.0 has been released and is available on NuGet.

• .NET 5.0+
• .NET Standard 2.1

First, you need to define your event (message) type:

public class SampleEvent
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public double Value { get; set; }
}

You also need to create a consumer:

public class SampleEventHandler : IEventHandler<SampleEvent>
{
    public void OnEvent(SampleEvent data, long sequence, bool endOfBatch)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Event: {data.Id} => {data.Value}");
    }
}

Then you can setup the Disruptor:

var disruptor = new Disruptor<SampleEvent>(() => new SampleEvent(), ringBufferSize: 1024);

disruptor.HandleEventsWith(new SampleEventHandler());

disruptor.Start();

Finally, you can publish events:

using (var scope = disruptor.PublishEvent())
{
    var data = scope.Event();
    data.Id = 42;
    data.Value = 1.1;
}
