faust VS redpanda

We have many similar ideas and paradigms, as one would expect from modern frameworks tackling the same problem. However, Faust has been deprecated and no longer managed or supported (there is a fork being maintained by the community at https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust). I guess Robinhood at some point decided not to spend any more resources on it, an often destiny of such side projects by large corporations. On the other hand, we hope to stay around for a long time and build to a framework and a community that loves it. This initial version was built using many libraries in order to have a working system and to gather feedback from the large community. We plan to replace eventually all, or at least most of dependancies, and replace then with Rust lib with Python bindings.

Just wanted to add that there is an actively maintained fork called faust-streaming, you can find it here: https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust

That's the basics yes. You have a pletora of things coming next. One is "Windowing" mentioned in the article, it's well explained and maybe it looks simple, but when you start with it, takes some time to wrap your mind around it.

The other things in kafka world are stateful transformations, which you would normally do using Java's Flink. The closest in python is Faust (the fork) [0]. What are stateful aggregations? something like doing SQL on top of a topic: group_by, count, reduce, and joins. So similar to SQL that you have kSQL [1].

Consumer groups IMO falls under basic usage, if you need to scale, take a look at it, and what are partitions and replicas, with that in mind, you'll be ok.

The forked one, https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust, has been updated but still doesn’t seem to support joins.

Faust: Python framework

I’d like to use Python for this so I came across Faust but I’m not sure if it’s possible to create HTTP requests through Faust or if there are better alternatives.

There is a community fork which was stale for a while but got a new commit a couple days ago, this one might be usable, but is still quite risky (70 open issues etc.): https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust

There is a community which forked and actively develops faust, here’s the https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust

Hi, thanks for the answer, I'm actually using virtualenv with the requirements of the file associated with the example. However I wanted to tell you that due to covid the project is suspended but only temporarily, but there is an active fork https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust. But the example in the fork doesn't work either.

To learn more about Redpanda and stay up-to-date, see Redpanda's source codes available on GitHub and join the Redpanda Community on Slack with fellow developers and data engineers.

Stream-processing platforms such as Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, or Redpanda are specifically engineered to foster event-driven communication in a distributed system and they can be a great choice for developing loosely coupled applications. Stream processing platforms analyze data in motion, offering near-zero latency advantages. For example, consider an alert system for monitoring factory equipment. If a machine's temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a streaming platform can instantly trigger an alert and engineers do timely maintenance.

Yeah it’s just the stack switching itself that is a handful of cycles, but there is not much more overhead for the full VM switch if you structure your embedding the right way. Code the code is source available if you want to peek at it!

that's a littlebit of a stretch. when you say "no shortage" - outside of redpanda what product exists that actually compete in all deployment modes?

it's a misconception that redpanda is simply a better kafka. the way to think about it is that is a new storage engine, from scratch, that speaks the kafka protocol. similar to all of the pgsql companies in a different space, i.e.: big table pgsql support is not a better postgres, fundamentally different tech. you can read the src and design here: https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda. or an electric car is not the same as a combustion engine, but only similar in that they are cars that take you from point a to point b.

Redpanda with the MongoDB Debezium Connector installed. We use Redpanda as a Kafka broker.

And Kafka + Kafka Connect has https://www.confluent.io/ https://aiven.io/ https://upstash.com/ (and not quite Kafka, but protocol-compatible, https://redpanda.com/)

There exists a C++ project which was created after Rust the language was available. github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/

I suggest you check out io_uring and thread per core architecture. Applications like scylladb and redpanda have thread per core architecture and use io_uring for async io.
