Products that do what Kafkatop, top-like CLI for Kafka does
Hey HN, for those of you tired of running kafka-consumer-groups.sh and similar tools, here's a small real-time monitoring CLI tool for Apache Kafka, that displays consumer lag and event rates in a clean, top-like interface. You can quickly assess which consumers are lagging and when they will catch up. I've made this to quickly assess the health of remote on-premises clusters which most of the time lack proper monitoring. The tool can be found here: https://github.com/sivann/kafkatop I'd be very interested to hear your feedback or any features you think would add value to…

Hi HN, We are launching Denormalized (www.denormalized.io), a serverless real-time data platform built on Kafka and Pinot. We felt a bit burnt out by the sheer developer toil we faced when building application around the real-time data stack and set out to create a platform to allow small teams to be very productive with realtime data without having to glue together an elaborate system to serve real-time as well as time series queries. Here is our motivating post. Would appreciate any and all feedback.

FastStream - https://github.com/airtai/faststream, a stream processing framework, already supports Kafka stream processing using the aiokafka library, as well as other brokers such as Redis, RabbitMQ, and NATS. Responding to popular demand, the latest 0.4.0rc0 version introduces support for Kafka stream processing using Confluent Kafka's Python library - https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python. Please take a look at it and let us know what you think: https://faststream.airt.ai/0.4/confluent/ Wondering why and how…

We have been involved in a number of real time streaming projects using tools such as Flink, Spark Streams and Kafka Streams backed by "real time" databases such as Druid. We always found these projects quite complex to develop and run, with stream processing in particular being a bit of a dark art. A stream to stream join in Flink can get quite mind bending for instance. In 2020 we had the idea of building a low code SaaS product for real time streaming analytics. The first attempt failed due to being a little over-engineered and with too many changes of direction, but over the last few…

We are working on a product which makes stream processing easy for data analysts and data scientists. It’s a higher level alternative to Flink, Kafka Streams and Spark Streams. As well as making stream processing simpler, we also felt that lots of people were building these AWS stream processing platforms based on Kafka and something like Flink so wanted to offer this as a service. We would welcome any input on the space or approach: Home page: http://Timeflow.systems Demo: https://youtu.be/fGfgBaHXOkE
