A .NET port of the LMAX Disruptor, a high-performance inter-thread message passing framework built around a pre-allocated ring buffer with configurable consumer sequences. It offers zero-allocation event publishing, optional lock-free operation, configurable wait strategies, and inter-process communication.

Use cases

• pass messages between threads with minimal latency
• build a low-latency event processing pipeline in .NET
• replace blocking queues with a lock-free ring buffer
• implement producer-consumer workflows without allocations
• communicate between processes with shared memory messaging

When to choose

• you need very low-latency, high-throughput inter-thread messaging on .NET
• you want zero garbage collection pressure after startup
• you need flexible consumer dependency graphs and wait strategies

When to avoid

• you only need simple background task queues or basic producer-consumer patterns
• your workload is not latency-sensitive and a standard concurrent queue suffices
• you are not on .NET 6+ or .NET Standard 2.1
