In this clip, Yuri Goldfeld, Senior Principal Software Engineer, Akamai and lead developer for Flow-IPC, introduces the company’s first original open-source project, Flow-IPC. He explains that it is middleware written in C++ designed for inter-process communication (IPC). IPC involves transferring data between different threads of execution, which becomes complex and slow when dealing with multiple programs due to the need for data copying. Flow-IPC addresses these challenges by eliminating the need for data copying, reducing latency in data transmission between programs.
