MERCURY IPC plugin 15.0

MERCURY IPC plugin by Mercury

The MERCURY IPC plugin is a lightweight, high-performance inter-process communication solution that helps applications and services exchange data securely, reliably, and at low latency. Designed to simplify the hardest parts of IPC, it provides a unified, developer-friendly API that works across processes on the same machine or across network boundaries, so you can focus on building features instead of plumbing.

Key capabilities

• Flexible messaging patterns: request/response, publish/subscribe, streaming, and one-way notifications.
• Common transports: supports standard options such as named pipes/Unix domain sockets, TCP sockets, and shared-memory paths where available.
• Strong reliability: configurable retries with backoff, acknowledgments, ordered delivery per channel, and optional durability for critical messages.
• Performance-focused: low overhead, batching, flow control/backpressure, and zero-copy paths when the platform permits.
• Security built in: encryption in transit (TLS), optional mutual authentication, and per-channel access controls.
• Observability: structured logs, health checks, metrics, and tracing hooks to integrate with your monitoring stack.
• Developer experience: clear error reporting, simple configuration, and support for common serialization formats (for example, JSON, Protobuf, or MessagePack).
• Broad compatibility: works with popular operating systems and languages, enabling easy integration with existing services, plug-ins, or microservices.

Typical use cases

• Connecting plug-ins or extensions to a host application with low-latency messaging
• Coordinating microservices on the same host or across a secure network boundary
• Streaming telemetry and events between background workers and UI processes
• Bridging legacy components with modern services without rewriting core logic

Whether you are building a modular desktop application, orchestrating high-throughput pipelines, or adding safe cross-process messaging to an existing system, the MERCURY IPC plugin delivers a clean, consistent foundation you can trust and scale.
