Is ZeroMQ ready for production use?

Question

The same question was asked 1 year ago here. I'm looking for a status update for today.

• How are the error messages, documentation, etc?
• Are there frequent bugs which cause development problems?
• How is the performance?

Answer 1

We use 2.x extensively in production systems in financial area:

• 2.0.11 in a mercantile exchange system (for communication from brokers to exchange gateway via tcp, and for communication between various components of the exchange system itself)
• 2.1.x in other types of payment-related systems (inproc and tcp transports)

We didn't use PGM transport yet.

ZeroMQ mailing list and development team are always very helpful.
