Hello Everyone, Apache Iggy (Incubating) version *0.6.0* has been released.
Apache Iggy (Incubating) is a high-performance, persistent message streaming platform written in Rust, powered by a next-generation io_uring, thread-per-core, shared-nothing architecture that delivers ultra-low latency and millions-per-second throughput. It supports QUIC, TCP, WebSocket, and HTTP transports and includes growing ecosystem integrations such as Iceberg, Elasticsearch, and Flink. Iggy also provides production-ready SDKs across all major languages like Rust, C++, C#, Java, Node.js, Python, Go, Elixir etc. The 0.6.0 release represents a major evolution of Apache Iggy: - A complete server rewrite to a high-performance *io_uring + thread-per-core, shared-nothing architecture* powered by the compio runtime. - This unlocks massive throughput and scalability while enabling new capabilities such as *a custom WebSocket transport built natively on completion-based I/O* (read blog here <https://iggy.apache.org/blogs/2025/11/17/websocket-io-uring>). - *Foundations for Clustering*, adding consensus-ready metadata modules and a leader-aware connection mechanism across SDKs. - *Security is significantly hardened* with auto-generated root passwords, Argon2 hashing, and improved diagnostic messages for runtime failures. - Expanding ecosystem with new *Iceberg, Elasticsearch, and Flink* integrations, a unified and enhanced connector runtime, and major upgrades across all SDKs including async Java, TLS support, high-level C# clients, and improved Python, Go, Node.js, and Rust tooling. - A series of *critical bug fixes*, Web UI enhancements, unified Helm charts, and a revamped CI/CD pipeline with multi-arch support and *~40% faster builds* and more. We'd like to express our gratitude to all contributors to this release, as well as to the mentors and incubator for their invaluable support. *Artifacts* are available on *Downloads* page: https://iggy.apache.org/downloads *Release Notes:* https://github.com/apache/iggy/releases/tag/server-0.6.0 We are eager to expand our community and extend an invitation to new contributors.
