Using Aeron with RSocket

Question

Good morning,

I am trying to use RSocket on top of the Aeron transport protocol. However, it appears that there is no documentation on the topic - did anyone successfully integrate those two technologies together ? Is it ready to be used or still a work in progress ?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

I chatted with R-socket authors about Aeron's support. They say it's very deep in work in progress. Currently, they have a big issue with converting R-socket byte buffers (they reuse Netty bb) to UnsafeByteBuffer from Agrona. So they have to copy from one to another just because there is no obvious copy-free converter.

So, answering your question:

Is it ready to be used or still a work in progress?

It's not ready to be used right now unfortunately =(
