Emissary, a fast open-source Java messaging library

https://github.com/joel-jeremy/emissary
36•jeyjeyemem•2w ago

Comments

jeyjeyemem•2w ago
Emissary is a simple-to-use, no dependency, yet BLAZING FAST messaging library for decoupling messages (requests and events) and message handlers.

Emissary aims to take advantage of the simplicity of using the annotations for handlers (e.g. @RequestHandler/@EventHandler) without the drawbacks of reflection (slow).

What differentiates Emissary from other messaging/dispatch libraries? It takes advantage of java.lang.invoke.LambdaMetafactory to avoid the cost of invoking methods reflectively. This results in performance close to directly invoking the request handler and event handler methods.

~ 1000% more throughput compared to other similar libraries (Spring's ApplicationEventPublisher, Pipelinr, EventBus) ~ 90% faster compared to other similar libraries (Spring's ApplicationEventPublisher, Pipelinr, EventBus)

Assuming that you are the author of Emissary, this could be a Show HN, I think.

I always enjoy how low-tech this website is. Not necessarily great UX, but it's quaint.

Yes, I am the author. I didn't know that, I'll give it a try. Thank you for the tip!

Are you planning to add persistent events as well, so that events are not lost due to crashes
jeyjeyemem•1w ago
This a frequently requested feature. At the moment, it only handles in-process messages but allowing for persistent events is definitely in the roadmap. It's not built-in right now, but this can be achieved by implementing custom RequestHandlerInvocationStrategy and EventHandlerInvocationStrategy. For example, one can implement an invocation strategy to serialize and send certain events to Kafka, queue, or your DB of choice.

See: https://github.com/joel-jeremy/emissary/blob/main/emissary-c...

Here are the default invocation strategies built-in right now: https://github.com/joel-jeremy/emissary/tree/main/emissary-c...

I'm a big fan of Guava's EventBus. Easy to implement and straightforward to understand. This library does seem to require more setup and I don't see the immediate advantages, also why does it require an instanceProvider? I don't understand what that does.
jeyjeyemem•1w ago
Emissary really shines if performance is a top priority.

The setup is more or less similar, you register a bunch of event handlers when initializing the library. The main difference is that, in addition to events, Emissary also supports "request" messages. Requests enforce the invariant that only one handler should handle it - if there are multiple handlers registered for a given request, Emissary will throw an error. That, and some extension points which is only needed for more advance use cases.

The InstanceProvider allows users to let the dependency injection (DI) framework of their choice instantiate the request/event handler classes (see https://github.com/joel-jeremy/emissary?tab=readme-ov-file#e...). This is in contrast to the way EventBus does it where subscribers need to be instantiated at startup time. By leveraging the DI framework, additional services can be injected to the handler's constructor.
