README

Message Dispatcher

message-dispatcher is a simple message broker service that can receive arbitrary messages through:

• unix datagram socket
• udp endpoint

and forward them to:

• AWS Kinesis
• InfluxDB (through the http API)

The service is fully agnostic as to the format and content of the messages. Emphasis is given to low latency as far as the service's client is concerned and ensuring non-blocking client requests.
