bytewax VS AIOHTTP

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cool, nice idea. Can you sub in different backend like bytewax (https://github.com/bytewax/bytewax) for stateful processing?

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.

> AIOHTTP: The Python int constructor is used to parse Content-Lengths and chunk-sizes, so _, +, and - are misinterpreted.

Fun. I believe the fix is incomplete here[1]. Python's int() constructor accepts integers comprised of any unicode numeral, for example, int("٦٦٦") == 666, and "٦٦٦".isdecimal() == True.

aiohttp

If you want speed, I would try to rewrite everything using an asynchronous library like aiohttp.

requests does not support async out-of-the-box, so we will use aiohttp to avoid complications. requests can do the job, and there is no substantial performance difference. But the code is more readable using aiohttp.

I'm using aiohttp to build an API server that sends TCP requests off to a seperate server. The module that sends the TCP requests is synchronous and a black box for my purposes. So my problem is that these requests are blocking the entire API. I need a way to wrap the module requests in an asynchronous coroutine that won't block the rest of the API.

aiohttp - Everything that I need and nothing that I don't.

Use aiohttp to download the content of each page of lists. As of this Code Review post, this is the only step we execute.

Reminds me of this post from 5 months ago, but it was for a Python library. I made a discussion thread on the aiohttp repo and someone ended up contacting the reddit admins about it. The problem seems to be resolved now.
