## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: message-queue, concurrency
- domain: developer-tools, performance, microservices
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: lmax-disruptor, inter-thread-messaging, lock-free, ring-buffer, ipc, high-performance
