  • A High-Performance, Java-Based Orchestration Platform
    1 project | /r/java | 11 Oct 2023
    Kestra's communication is asynchronous and based on a queuing mechanism. It leverages the Micronaut framework and offers two runners: one that uses a database (JDBC) for both the message queue and resource storage, and another that uses Kafka as the message queue and Elasticsearch as the resource storage. The platform is fully extensible and plugin-based, providing a rich set of plugins for various workflow tasks, triggers, and data storage options. For those interested, the GitHub repository is available here: https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra

  • Airflow's Problem
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Aug 2022
    But I totally agree that a large static dag is not appropriate in the actual data world with data mesh and domain responsibility.

  • Ask HN: Open-source with Kafka as dependencies, is this a instant turn off?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 5 May 2022
    - We have plans to add another option that will replace both dependencies with jdbc (https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra/pull/368), is theses dependencies more comfortable for you?
  • ELT vs ETL: Why not both?
    2 projects | /r/dataengineering | 27 Apr 2022
    With Kestra's innate flexibility, and many integrations, you are not locked into the choice of one ingestion method or the other. Complex workflows can be developed, whether in parallel or sequentially, to deliver both ELT and ETL processes. Simple descriptive yaml is used to connect plugins, and to create flows. Because workflows created in Kestra are represented visually, and issues can be seen in relation to individual tasks, there is no need to fear complexity. Trouble can be traced to its source in an instant, allowing you to try new things and come up with a new solution without fear. Give it a try, and let us know what you come up with!
  • Debezium Change Data Capture without Kafka Connect
