Iggy.rs – building message streaming in Rust

i'm a bit confused as to what exactly this is; a low-level, messaging system? what are the implications of it and the comparison of competitors? I'm obviously missing something. Could someone elaborate?

This is a message streaming infrastructure, similar to Kafka, Redpadna etc. You can think of it as a kind of a simple database (so-called Write Ahead Log), being responsible for appending the messages in a highly performant manner.
