About:
Zyre is a lightweight framework for peer-to-peer applications that enables service discovery and clustering over local area networks. It builds upon ZeroMQ to provide a simple API for creating groups of nodes that can reliably exchange messages. The tool handles node presence, group membership, and message routing automatically.
Key Features:
  • Automatic peer discovery via UDP beacon
  • Group-based messaging and service clustering
  • Built on ZeroMQ for reliable transport
  • Simple, event-driven API
  • Cross-language support
Use Cases:
  • Building decentralized chat applications
  • Creating local service discovery systems
  • Developing peer-to-peer IoT device networks
  • Implementing distributed computing clusters
Alternatives:
  • gossip – Lower-level messaging library without built-in discovery
  • libp2p – More complex, internet-scale P2P networking stack
