Zenoh’s Comics – May 2023

When companies start collaborating with us, they often enquire whether to use Zenoh or DDS and how they compare.

For companies aiming to unify their stack from the Cloud to the microcontroller, Zenoh is the appropriate choice.

In systems that require compliance or interoperability with the OMG DDS Standard, selecting Cyclone is advisable.

Even in these situations, Zenoh proves exceedingly useful, enabling users to leverage its transparent interworking with DDS, reach contained devices, operate at Internet scale, and utilise its support for data at rest and computations.

This allows you to use DDS where necessary and Zenoh everywhere else, benefiting from its simplicity, performance, and next-generation features.

This scenario also features in this episode of our comic!

Zenoh asks his mate to connect with an older generation of robots that only communicate via DDS, because Cyclone DDS is one of the most widely used DDS implementations in Open Robotics’ ROS2.

In the webinar “Understanding Zenoh,” our CEO Angelo Corsaro offers an in-depth exploration of Zenoh’s abstractions, primitives, and a comprehensive comparison with competing technologies such as DDS, MQTT, AMQP, and Kafka.
