Disruptor is a high-performance queue developed by LMAX, a British foreign exchange trading company. The original intention of the research and development is to solve the delay problem of the internal memory queue, rather than the distributed queue. The single thread of the system developed based on Disruptor can support 6 million orders per second. After giving a speech at QCon in 2010, it gained the attention of the industry.
