Selium is an extremely developer friendly composable messaging platform with zero build time configuration.
Selium is trivial to setup and feels instantly familiar on implementation. Selium's client library
implements Tokio's Stream and Sink traits, so chances are you already know
how to use it.
Yep! Unlike other platforms where pipelines have to be established ahead of time using a GUI or CLI, Selium builds and runs pipelines on the fly. With Selium you can throw away your continuous deployment and get on with coding.

| Internally we use a lock-free double-ended tree to manage clients and their various requirements. This graph drives all of our I/O. |
Selium supports both publish-subscribe and request-reply patterns, allowing you to disseminate data and consume services over the same platform. No more gagging while you reach for that REST toolkit!
Selium uses namespaces to achieve segmentation between facets of your data network. You can arbitrarily define namespaces much the same way as you'd create directories in a filesystem. Selium enforces isolation between namespaces at the user level (see mTLS), so sharing between namespaces is simple, but secure.
On the wire, Selium uses the QUIC protocol. QUIC is a UDP-based successor to TCP and is designed to address many of TCP's shortcomings. Unlike raw UDP, QUIC is robust and reliable, so much so that HTTP/3 is built atop it!
We also like QUIC because it natively supports encrypted transport, which is a perfect segue to...
Selium is written in Rust, which, for the uninitiated, eliminates an entire class of memory-based vulnerabilities.
Selium also supports mTLS out of the box for securing client-server communication in both directions.
There's too much to say in such a small space, so here's some stuff we missed out, rapid fire!
- Map, filter, split and join your streams (coming soon)
- Message retention, replay and delivery guarantees (coming soon)
- Embedded WASM support (coming soon)
- Granular ACLs (coming soon)
- Some secret stuff that we can't wait to tell you about. We're not good at keeping secrets!
