About the project

DORA is a Rust framework for building distributed robotics and AI applications, where a program is modeled as a directed graph of nodes (a dataflow). It provides low latency and zero-copy messaging via Zenoh and Apache Arrow.

Useful for

Run a sender → transformer → receiver pipeline with dora run
Bring up a multi-machine cluster with dora cluster up
Record and replay node messages using dora record and dora replay

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
