A simple, robust, and durable cloud-native message broker wrapped with
an entire ecosystem that enables cost-effective, fast, and reliable development of modern queue-based use cases.
Memphis enables the building of modern queue-based applications that require
large volumes of streamed and enriched data, modern protocols, zero ops, rapid development,
extreme cost reduction, and a significantly lower amount of dev time for data-oriented developers and data engineers.

🫣 A world without Memphis
When your application requires a message broker or a queue,
Implementing one will require you to -
- Build a dead-letter queue
- Create observability
- Build a scalable environment
- Create client wrappers
- Handle back pressure. Client or queue side
- Create a retry mechanism
- Configure monitoring and real-time alerts
- Deal with ACLs
- Somehow create a cloud-agnostic implementation
- Create config alignment between production to a dev environment
- Spent weeks and months learning the internals through archival documentation, ebooks, and courses
- Onboard your developers
And the list continues...
Or, you can just use Memphis and focus your resources on tasks that matter 😎

How does it affect you? Well... mostly it doesn't.
(a) The core of memphis broker is highly stable
(b) We learn and fix fast
But we need your love, and any help we can get by stars, PR, feedback, issues, and enhancements.
