NAME

Net::Clacks - Fast client/server interprocess messaging and memcached replacement

SYNOPSIS

The Net::Clacks system implements a fast client/server based interprocess messaging. For handling a high number of clients, you can run multiple servers in a master/slave configuration. A slave can also run itself as master for it's own slaves, so a tree-like setup is possible.

Net::Clacks requires Perl 5.36.0 or higher.

DESCRIPTION

The Net::Clacks system implements a fast client/server based interprocess messaging. For handling a high number of clients, you can run multiple servers in a master/slave configuration. A slave can also run itself as master for it's own slaves, so a tree-like setup is possible.

Clacks has two ways to handle data. One is (near) real time messaging, the other is storing in memory (as a replacement for memcached).

Clacks has also a DEBUG feature that forwards all messages to a requesting client.

The Net::Clacks system implements a fast client/server based interprocess messaging. For handling a high number of clients, you can run multiple servers in a master/slave configuration. A slave can also run itself as master for it's own slaves, so a tree-like setup is possible. This is implemented by using Interclacks mode via OVERHEAD mode setting.

MODULES

The server is implemented in Net::Clacks::Server.

The client library in Net::Clacks::Client.

A more Cache::Memcached compatible client library (caching only, no real time communication) is implemented in the Net::Clacks::ClacksCache module.

For those cases when you need to send a Clacks message from PostgreSQL, there is the "write-only" Net::Clacks::PostgreSQL2Clacks. This makes it relatively easy to generate messages from database triggers.

Please also take a look at the examples, this implements a simple chat client.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES

Please make sure to read Net::Clacks::UpgradeGuide before upgrading to a new Net::Clacks version.
