UnverifiedInter-process communication (IPC) is the classic mechanism in operating systems for coordinating concurrently executing units, including pipes, message queues, shared memory, and sockets.75% similarUnverifiedCommon IPC implementation methods in hybrid architectures include Unix Domain Sockets, Named Pipes, NSXPCConnection, and Electron's MessageChannelMain68% similarUnverifiedSTDIO is the most basic form of inter-process communication (IPC): each process automatically gets three standard streams when it starts — stdin (file descriptor 0), stdout (file descriptor 1), and stderr (file descriptor 2) — and a parent process can connect to a child process through pipes to exchange data without going through the network stack.64% similarUnverifiedPipesHub is an open-source context layer under the Apache 2.0 license, sitting between enterprise data and upper-layer AI applications, responsible for organizing scattered company data into unified context consumable by search, conversation, Agents, MCP clients, or self-developed applications.58% similarUnverifiedThe Kappa architecture was proposed by Jay Kreps of LinkedIn, advocating for maintaining only a single stream processing pipeline and treating batch processing as a special case of stream processing.56% similar
