Fluvio 38.8x faster than Kafka

In plain words

Fluvio is a data streaming platform designed as an alternative to Kafka. It handles real-time data processing and messaging for applications that need to move and process large volumes of data. The product is built for developers and organizations looking for streaming infrastructure. According to its positioning, Fluvio offers significant performance improvements in throughput and latency compared to traditional streaming solutions.

Stateful Data Flow Beta Build composable event-driven data pipelines in minutes. At InfinyOn for the past 6 years we have obsessed over developer ergonomics, functionality, and reliability of Fluvio and Stateful DataFlow . It’s not trivial to build a distributed streaming engine from the ground up. We had internal benchmarks, and some baseline comparison. But we had not given developers the ability to run benchmarks. And we did not have it on our roadmap until a handful of Fluvio open source developers started asking for benchmarks and P99 latencies. Benchmarks are not the main or the only reason behind software purchase decisions. Benchmarks are a decent indication of the scalability…from infinyon.com

  Hello Everyone! We built SQLFlow as a lightweight stream processing engine. We leverage DuckDB as the stream processing engine, which gives SQLFlow the ability to process 10's of thousands of messages a second using ~250MiB of memory! DuckDB also supports a rich ecosystem of sinks and connectors! https://sql-flow.com/docs/category/tutorials/ https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow We were tired of running JVM's for simple stream processing, and also of bespoke one off stream processors I would love your feedback, criticisms and/or…

  I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

  I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
