CIM (Cross IM) is a distributed instant messaging system for developers built with Java, Netty, and Spring Boot. It provides server and client components plus an SDK for building scalable IM platforms, app message push, and IoT massive-connection messaging.

Use cases

  • build a distributed instant messaging system
  • push messages to mobile apps at scale
  • handle massive IoT device connections with long-lived TCP
  • learn Netty long-connection heartbeat and reconnection design
  • run group chat and private chat for developers
  • embed a chat client SDK into my own application

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, developer-oriented IM foundation in Java
  • you need horizontal scaling with Netty-based TCP long connections
  • you want a learning reference for high-concurrency messaging architecture

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready turnkey chat product with web/mobile clients out of the box
  • you need offline messages and message encryption, which are not yet implemented
  • your stack is not JVM-based and you cannot run Java servers
