flow VS oli-torus

We use a macaddr8 that embeds a wall-clock timestamp (so they're ascending order, achieving data locality) with some additional randomness. It's worked really well for us:

https://github.com/estuary/flow/blob/master/supabase/migrati...

we use macaddr8 instead of bigint, because it has a postgres serialization / JSON encoding which lossless-ly round-trips with browsers and it works well with PostgREST. The same CANNOT be said for bigint, which is a huge footgun.

I can't claim to know much about CloudQuery, but we are an open-source platform with CDC connectors from PostgreSQL and materializations to BQ and elsewhere. We also have fully-managed connectors if you don't want to deal with hosting.

This is essentially how we model things in Flow (disclosure: I work there). We call them Derivations, which are data products that are built (derived) from other data products. Each data product (we call them Collections) is backed by a set of append-only logs, so they can be read by many different consumers at different times. IDK if our product can work for you since we don't (yet) support stuff like MQTT, but there's a pretty generous free tier if you'd be able to push the data over HTTP. Either way, I just think it's cool that others have independently arrived at similar ideas about how to model streaming tasks!

We Estuary Git Docs have an open-source connector for Kafka -> Snowflake that could perform the tasks of a) flattening the data and b) removing duplicates via exactly once end to end delivery

It does seem like a weird bug that this would cause errors https://github.com/estuary/flow/runs/5642694619?check_suite_... seems like it should be some kind of warning instead of an error?

Carnegie Mellon University | Remote friendly, Pittsburgh, PA | Junior or Entry-level Software Engineer | Open Source

We are looking to add a front-end React/TypeScript software engineer to our team that is leading the development of our open source learning engineering platform. This person would have the opportunity to learn Elixir/Phoenix and thus be able to contribute to the entire system development.

The Torus platform (https://github.com/Simon-Initiative/oli-torus) is rapidly growing and gaining attention in the EdTech and Corporate training spaces. Over the past year and a half the development effort has grown from just our small team here at CMU to one now involving multiple partner organizations (both corporate and academic). The project receives code contributions from several different countries and continents on a daily basis.

CMU benefits are legendary, including the ability to take classes - and even pursue an advanced graduate degree - for free.
