We are going to extend our previous service with a new feature, a shared memory handler. The service will be able to shared bigger blocks of data than a queue message.
Service IPC: POSIX message queue
Service IPC: POSIX shared memory
With this tutorial series we are going to explore and implement with multiple code languages the functionality of a powerful type of programs: the services. A service is a program that waits for other program interaction to perform a task in background with an independent context.
We can start communicating two services using POSIX message queues. As each service can use their own context we can implement each service with different coding language. For our examples we are going to view their implementation using C++, Python and Rust language.

In a previous tutorial we explored how to embed a Python interpreter in a C++ application. Now we can do some small changes to improve their performance drastically
Introduction
Performance improvements
In a previous tutorial we have embed a Python interpreter in a C++ application, now we can use it as a base to embed a Python interpreter in our Unreal Engine project. With this feature we will be able to use Python code inside our games.
