Welcome to the iceoryx2 community! đź‘‹

This is the community hub for everyone working with iceoryx2 — the open-source, zero-copy data plane for fast and reliable data exchange. Whether you’re shipping it in production, evaluating it for a project, or just curious how it works, you’re in the right spot.

What this forum is for

  • :ring_buoy: Getting help — stuck on a setup, an API, or unexpected behavior? Ask away.
  • :speech_balloon: Discussion & best practices — patterns, performance tuning, architecture, and the occasional friendly debate.
  • :sparkles: Showcasing — built something with iceoryx2? Share it in Showcase. Demos, benchmarks, and “look what I got working” posts are all welcome.
  • :megaphone: Staying current — releases and project news land in Announcements and News.

Not sure where something goes? Post it in General — we’ll sort it out.

Getting the best answers

The more context you give, the better the answers. A couple of common cases:

Troubleshooting something? Include:

  • Which version of iceoryx2 and the language/bindings (Rust, C, C++, Python)
  • Your OS and platform
  • A minimal example or steps to reproduce, plus the actual error or behavior

Thinking through a design or best practice? Include:

  • What you’re building and the problem you’re solving
  • Your constraints — latency targets, platform, message sizes, process count
  • The approaches you’re considering, so people can weigh in rather than start from scratch

A few good first steps

  • :bust_in_silhouette: Introduce yourself and tell us what you’re building (or hoping to build).
  • :books: Browse around to see what’s already being discussed.
  • :handshake: Jump in — questions, answers, and feedback all help the community grow.

A couple of useful links: the GitHub repository and the documentation. Please give the community guidelines a quick read before posting.

Glad to have you here — from robots to space to physical AI, let’s build the systems that get us there. :rocket:
