An open-source library for telemetry streaming started at Formula 1

Hello HN, we’re open sourcing a new library called Quix Streams (https://github.com/quixio/quix-streams)—a high-performance Python and C# library that processes time-series telemetry data with message broker such as Apache Kafka, instead of a database. We’re a team of engineers who all worked together at the Formula 1 McLaren pit wall. We struggled to get wanted we wanted out of existing stream processing tech, so we built our own platform called Quix. Although our original requirements were pretty niche (process over 60k data points per second), our solution is designed…

An open-source library for telemetry streaming started at Formula 1 launched on March 2, 2023 with 11 votes, #1,870 of 5,007 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Quix Streams is an open-source Python and C# library that processes time-series telemetry data through message brokers like Apache Kafka. Built by engineers from the Formula 1 McLaren pit wall, it handles high-volume data streaming—originally designed to process over 60,000 data points per second. The library targets data scientists and ML engineers who need accessible tools for real-time data analysis, with built-in convenience functions for working with sensor data and physics models.

    Hey there! This is Dan and Ustin (@uzarubin), and we want to share something cool we've been working on for the past year - an open-source `tail -f` for your data, with a UI. We call it "Streamdal" which is a word salad for streaming systems (because we love them) and DAL or data access layer (because we’re nerds). Here's the repo: https://github.com/streamdal/streamdal Here's the site: https://streamdal.com And here's a live demo: https://demo.streamdal.com (github repo has an explanation of the demo) — — — THE PROBLEM We built this because the…

    Hi HN! I’m Nero from Marple, and we build time series tooling for Aerospace & Automotive. In 2020, we launched our first product: a sort of Grafana on steroids designed for high performance analysis. After integrating with a lot of different TS databases, we kept running into their design limits when trying to deliver the best performance & UX to our users. That’s why we are launching Marple DB today (https://www.marpledata.com/marple-db). Marple DB transforms measurements files (CSV, MAT, HDF5, TDMS, …) into a queryable lakehouse. We designed for extreme ingestion…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
