Kitsune

Messaging

Kitsune uses messaging services to exchange events for cache invalidation, notification delivery, etc.
To offer flexibility and to make self-hosting as easy as possible, we have multiple such backends.

Redis backend

Section titled “Redis backend”

This is backend you should choose when running multiple nodes in parallel. This then uses Redis’ PubSub feature to exchange messages.

Configuration example

Section titled “Configuration example”
[messaging]
type = "redis"
redis-url = "redis://localhost:6379"

In-process

Section titled “In-process”

This backend is optimal for small self-contained installations. It uses Tokio’s broadcast channel internally.
