Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Near Real Time Ingestion to DB using Python
You can probably use Python to solve your problem, there are many ways you can speed up your deserialization/flattening. I work on Bytewax (https://github.com/bytewax/bytewax) and I wouldn't mention it if it wasn't a good fit, but I think it's worth looking at here. It is a stream processor that makes it easy to scale, maintain order, track progress, and you just write native Python.

Stream processing framework for a new project in Python
Disclaimer: I work on Bytewax, but it feels like this could be a good fit and would save you some time looking around. If you need to do stateful operations (reduce, window, etc.) then you can use bytewax - https://github.com/bytewax/bytewax with pub/sub, but you would need to build a custom connector. There are some guides on how to do that - https://www.bytewax.io/blog/custom-input-connector.

A Python package for streaming synthetic data
This is great, definitely see the utility here. I have had to hack this together so many times while building streaming workflows with github.com/bytewax/bytewax and other tools.

Snowflake - what are the streaming capabilities it provides?
When low latency matters you should always consider an ETL approach rather than ELT, e.g. collect data in Kafka and process using Kafka Streams/Flink in Java or Quix Streams/Bytewax in Python, then sink it to Snowflake where you can handle non-critical workloads (as is the case for 99% of BI/analytics). This way you can choose the right path for your data depending on how quickly it needs to be served.

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
Working on how to use https://github.com/bytewax/bytewax to create embeddings in real-time for ML use cases. I want to make a small library for embedding pipelines, but still learning about vector dbs and the tradeoffs between the different solutions.

Arroyo: A distributed stream processing engine written in Rust
Project looks cool! Glad you open sourced it. It could use some comments in the code base to help contributors ;). I also like the datafusion usage, that is awesome. BTW I work on github.com/bytewax/bytewax, which is based on https://github.com/TimelyDataflow/timely-dataflow another Rust dataflow computation engine.

Launch HN: BuildFlow (YC W23) – The FastAPI of data pipelines
Cool, nice idea. Can you sub in different backend like bytewax (https://github.com/bytewax/bytewax) for stateful processing?
-
Kafka Stream Processing in Java or Scala
If you want to keep in your Python/SQL area of expertise and by all means I don't mean to promote not learning a new language, but just as an FYI. There are some non-Java/Scala tools between streaming databases like risingwave and materialize, streaming platforms like fluvio and redpanda, and stream processors like bytewax and faust.

Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python
To fully leverage the data is the new oil concept, companies require a special database designed to manage vast amounts of data instantly. This need has led to different database forms, including NoSQL databases, vector databases, time-series databases, graph databases, in-memory databases, and in-memory data grids. Recent years have seen the rise of cloud-based streaming databases such as RisingWave, Materialize, DeltaStream, and TimePlus. While they each have distinct commercial and technical approaches, their overarching goal remains consistent: to offer users cloud-based streaming database services.

Proton, a fast and lightweight alternative to Apache Flink
> Materialize no longer provide the latest code as an open-source software that you can download and try. It turned from a single binary design to cloud-only micro-service
Materialize CTO here. Just wanted to clarify that Materialize has always been source available, not OSS. Since our initial release in 2020, we've been licensed under the Business Source License (BSL), like MariaDB and CockroachDB. Under the BSL, each release does eventually transition to Apache 2.0, four years after its initial release.
Our core codebase is absolutely still publicly available on GitHub [0], and our developer guide for building and running Materialize on your own machine is still public [1].
It is true that we substantially rearchitected Materialize in 2022 to be more "cloud-native". Our new cloud offering offers horizontal scalability and fault tolerance—our two most requested features in the single-binary days. I wouldn't call the new architecture a microservices design though! There are only 2-3 services, each quite substantial, in the new architecture (loosely: a compute service, an orchestration service, and, soon, a load balancing service).
We do push folks to sign up for a free trial of our hosted cloud offering [2] these days, rather than trying to start off by running things locally, as we generally want folks' first impression of Materialize to be of the version that we support for production use cases. A all-in-one single machine Docker image does still exist, if you know where to look, but it's very much use-at-your-own-risk, and we don't recommend using it for anything serious, but it's there to support e.g. academic work that wants to evaluate Materialize's capabilities to incrementally maintain recursive SQL queries.
If folks have questions about Materialize, we've got a lively community Slack [3] where you can connect directly with our product and engineering teams.

We Built a Streaming SQL Engine
Some recent solutions to this problem include Differential Dataflow and Materialize. It would be neat if postgres adopted something similar for live-updating materialized views.
