## AI overview

The article announces the first release candidate of Disque 1.0, a message queue designed around messaging guarantees, user experience, and operational simplicity. It notes that further real-world testing and Jepsen testing are still needed.

## Source excerpt

Today I'm happy to announce that the first release candidate for Disque 1.0 is available. If you don't know what Disque is, the best starting point is to read the README in the Github project page at http://github.com/antirez/disque. Disque is a just piece of software, so it has a material value which can be zero or more, depending on its ability to make useful things for people using it. But for me there is an huge value that goes over what Disque, materially, is. It is the value of designing and doing something you care about. It's the magic of programming: where there was nothing, now there is something that works, that other people may potentially analyze, run, use. Distributed systems are a beautiful field. Thanks to Redis, and to the people that tried to mentor me in a way or the other, I got exposed to distributed systems. I wanted to translate this love to something tangible. A new, small system, designed from scratch, without prejudices and without looking too closely to what other similar systems were doing. The experience with Redis shown me that message brokers were a very interesting topic, and that in some way, they are the perfect topic to apply DS concepts. I even pretend message brokers can be fun and exciting. So I tried to design a new message queue, and Disque is the result. Disque design goal is to provide a system with a good user experience: to provide certain guarantees in the context of messaging, guarantees which are easy to reason about, and to provide extreme operational simplicity. The RC1 offers the foundation, but there is more work to do. For once I hope that Disque will be tested by Aphyr with Jepsen in depth. Since Disque is a system that provides certain kinds of guarantees that can be tested, if it fails certain tests, this translates directly to some bug to fix, that means to end with a better system. On the operational side there is to test it in the real world. AP and message queues IMHO are a perfect match to provide operation
