01 / FEATURES
Less glue code.
More clarity.
Everything you need for messaging,
in one visual interface.
Define your own rules
Match headers, payloads and metadata. Route, transform, filter and enrich messages.
Follow every message
Inspect history, statuses, payloads and processing jobs. Investigate errors and manage retries in the interface.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
The interface rests.
The flow continues.
Management and processing are separate. Independent workers execute rules and deliver messages even when the interface is stopped.

04 / QUICK START
Your first flow
starts here.
Clone Community and start the stack with Docker Compose. Then open the control panel at localhost:8080 and configure your first channel.
Before starting, create a file in the m3 directory named .env: set M3_ADMIN_PASSWORD (16–72 UTF-8 bytes) and M3_SECRET_KEY (32 random bytes encoded as Base64). Generate a key with openssl rand -base64 32.
QUICK START / TERMINAL
# Get the source code
$ git clone https://github.com/sysadminanywhere/m3.git
$ cd m3
# Configure .env, then start the stack
$ docker compose up --build -d Docker + Docker Compose → localhost:8080
A FEW MORE DETAILS
Good to know.
Where does my data live?+
M3 runs in your infrastructure. PostgreSQL stores messages, configuration and processing jobs. Docker Compose starts the application, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and a Docker API proxy.
Is M3 open source?+
M3 is source-available, not open source. Community allows free business use, including services to customers. Contractors may install and administer M3 on your behalf in your infrastructure. Code modification and redistribution of builds require separate written permission. See the license terms in the repository.
What if the broker is unavailable?+
Inbound messages remain in the database. Notifications wait in the transactional outbox and are sent when the connection is restored. Outbound delivery has separate jobs, statuses and retries.
How do I switch to Scale?+
The full distribution runs in Community mode without paid activation. A signed entitlement activates purchased Scale features within the limits of your order. The same distribution can continue in Community mode after paid activation expires. See the distribution documentation and commercial license for details.
