a deadly simple thread-safe, zero-alloc event bus for Golang

PubSub Event bus for Go

Package go-bus is a thread-safe, zero-alloc, pub-sub event bus for embebbed go apps and microservices.

Install

go get github.com/zerjioang/go-bus

TL;DR

func TestExampleCalculationBus(t *testing.T) {
	//define a global bus instance
	bus := mutex.NewBus()

	//register our subscriber: the calculation engine
	bus.Subscribe("calc", func(message gobus.EventMessage) {
		println("new calculation request arrived")
		a := message.Get("a").(int)
		b := message.Get("b").(int)
		println("received a = ", a)
		println("received b = ", b)
		println("the sum is", a+b)
	})

	//register our data publisher
	bus.Send("calc", gobus.EventPayload{
		"a": 5,
		"b": 10,
	})

	bus.Send("calc", gobus.EventPayload{
		"a": 8,
		"b": 12,
	})

	bus.Shutdown()
}

new calculation request arrived
new calculation request arrived
received a =  5
received b =  10
received a =  8
received b =  12
the sum is 15
the sum is 20

Benchmarking

Always do benchmarking with your own data. Here are mine:
