Top 18 C# Mediator Projects
-
About a year and a half ago, I was architecting a modular monolith and obsessing over performance. I'd been using MediatR for years, but I wanted something faster. I discovered Mediator by Martin Othamar - a SourceGenerator-based implementation that promised better performance through compile-time code generation.

silverback
Silverback is a message bus and broker integration library for .NET. It is designed to simplify event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging, with first-class support for Apache Kafka and MQTT.
-
LiteBus
In-process .NET mediator for CQS and DDD with first-class commands, queries, and events, a typed handler pipeline, and durable messaging.
This guide covers the direct mapping of concepts for a smooth migration from MediatR. However, the true benefits of LiteBus are found in the features that go beyond basic mediation. To explore these capabilities in detail, the official Wiki provides in-depth guides on the Durable Command Inbox, advanced event concurrency, handler filtering, and other best practices.

MitMediator

Stratara
CQRS and Event Sourcing for .NET — with tamper-evident streams and tenant-aware encryption built in. Integrated mediator, outbox, sagas, projections, and identity across 20 lockstep-versioned NuGet packages. Source-available under FSL-1.1-MIT (converts to MIT after 2 years).
Project mention: You can't delete an event. GDPR says you must. Crypto-shredding is the truce. | dev.to | 2026-06-03This is the model Stratara builds in (a .NET event-sourcing stack), but the technique is framework-agnostic — the pieces are a key store, an AES-GCM encryptor, and a key you can destroy.
