LwMQ User Guide
Introduction
LwMQ is a systems and platform architect’s LEGO® set, born from a simple observation: there is a gap in message-oriented inter-process communication system’s offerings.
LwMQ provides extremely fast inter-process messaging, extremely fast in-memory caching with special attention to high-contention scenarios, a persistent key-value store as well as supporting features such as hashing, CRC, HMAC and key and entropy generation, data compression, and more.
Everything in LwMQ is lightweight and optimized for the best possible performance on modern hardware, and exposed through a simple and consistent API.
LwMQ is designed to be used in a wide variety of scenarios, from locally distributed applications to networked applications, and from IoT / embedded SoCs to workstations to datacenters, and even in virtualized environments.

The entire binary distribution of LwMQ weights about 4MB and fits comfortably on any device capable of running any general-purpose SKU of Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2022, or later, while the redistributable installer weights less than 600KB.
LwMQ’s performance is best-in-industry when not industry-defining, on every aspect, and set a new standard of excellence. LwMQ is designed to be used in performance-critical and mission-critical long-running scenarios, with a strong emphasis on correctness and reliability.
Axel Rietschin Software Development, LLC is a Microsoft Partner member of the Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP) and is committed to ensuring LwMQ’s compatibility with Windows and its ecosystem, as well as to providing the best possible experience for our users.
