This seems to me being a good template for what you want to accomplish:

Keep in mind that »ØMQ sockets are not threadsafe« and don't share
them between threads.

process → init_module callback; don't define sockets here; zmq_init
goes here)

A note on performance:
• Use zero-copy wherever possible. (I would make a custom string an
optional last part of a message.) — [5]

• Does ØMQ have UDP or similar for PUB sockets? If so, use that.
• I guess that logging or queuing through Redis will perform better
than utilizing ØMQ for that matter iff everything is done on one
machine under high load.
