"I am an admirer of all things Chronicle, can honestly say, Chronicle Queue changed my entire perspective"

Records Every Message
Designed as a “record everything store” that reads with microsecond real-time latency. By making use of the available disk space, storage is not limited by the main memory.
Lossless with Replication
Messages can be automatically copied to queue replicas on different systems to essentially eliminate data loss. This is achieved with minimal impact on latencies.
Keeps Outliers in Check
Chronicle Queue Enterprise can be run asynchronously to hide OS latencies. This dramatically reduces outliers to consistently deliver low latency.
Supported by Our Experts
Get full support from our technical experts, with decades of experience building low-latency software for some of the largest players in the financial sector.
Robust and Resilient
Equipped with full HA/DR capabilities via multi-node replication and hot-hot configurations. This helps achieve uninterrupted communication.
Protects Sensitive Data
All stored messages can be encrypted to comply with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, which may mandate that all data is stored safely.

Multilanguage Support
Chronicle Queue is available as a fully native Java, Rust or C++ library, and also supports a Python API. All versions are fully binary compatible.
Chronicle Queue Enterprise in Action
Chronicle Queue Enterprise is most often used for producer-centric systems where data needs to be retained for days or years.
A producer-centric system does everything possible to never push back on the producer, or tell it to slow down.
Market Data
Market data publishers do not allow pushing back on the producer for long; if at all. Chronicle Queue can e.g. consume data from CME OPRA, that produces peaks of 10 million events per minute, sent as UDP packets without any retry. A missed or dropped packet is lost. Hence, packets must be consumed and recorded as fast as they arrive, with very little buffering in the network adapter.
For market data, real-time means microseconds.
Compliance Systems
Chronicle Queue can support millions of events per second, per server, and access data that has been retained for years.
Latency Sensitive Micro-services
Chronicle Queue supports low-latency IPC (Inter Process Communication) between JVMs on the same machine in the order of magnitude of 1 microsecond; as well as between machines with a typical latency of 10 microseconds for modest throughputs of a few hundred thousands. Chronicle Queue supports throughputs of millions of events per second, with stable microsecond latencies.
Log Replacement
A Chronicle Queue can be used to build state machines. All the information about the state of those components can be reproduced externally, without direct access to the components, or to their state. This significantly reduces the need for additional logging. However, any logging you do need can be recorded in great detail. This makes enabling debug logging in production practical as the cost of logging is very low; less than 10 microseconds. Logs can also be replicated centrally for log consolidation.
Lamda Stream Processing
Non-batching streaming components built with this technology are highly performant, deterministic, and reproducible. You can reproduce bugs that only show up after a million events played in a particular order, with accelerated realistic timings.

Articles about Chronicle Queue
The Big Question How is Chronicle Queue being used for Big Data solutions in Java, and how does it work under the covers? What is Chronicle Queue? Chronicle Queue is a persisted journal of messages which supports concurrent writers and readers even across multiple JVMs on the same machine. Every reader sees every message, and…
Compared to a year ago, we have significantly improved the throughput at which we can achieve the 99%ile (worst one in 100). What tools and tricks did we use to achieve that? What are we testing? Chronicle Queue appends messages to a file while another thread or process can be reading it. This gives you…
If you use a standard JVM like the Oracle JVM or the OpenJDK, you might find that as the heap size grows the performance of your JVM can drop as GC pause time escalates. This tends to be a problem around 32 GB of heap, but it often depends on the application at which point…
