Flume is a Rust library providing a safe, fast multi-producer, multi-consumer (MPMC) channel for passing messages between threads. It is a drop-in replacement for std::sync::mpsc with additional features like async support, select, and bounded/unbounded/rendezvous queues.
Use cases
- send messages between threads in Rust
- replace std::sync::mpsc with a faster channel
- multi-producer multi-consumer message passing
- async channel for tokio-style code
- select over multiple channels
- bounded queue with backpressure
When to choose
- you need MPMC channels in Rust
- you want a faster std::sync::mpsc replacement
- you need async and sync message passing in one library
- you want a 100% safe (no unsafe) channel implementation
When to avoid
- you only need simple single-threaded iteration
- you need cross-process or network message queues
- you prefer crossbeam-channel's ecosystem integration
