liftbridge VS Gotify

Liftbridge (https://liftbridge.io/) is more or less the NATS Kafka versioning.

[Gufo Liftbridge](https://pypi.org/project/gufo-liftbridge/) is the Python asyncio Liftbridge client.

Apache Pulsar might be worth a look, but it's actually more complex under the hood than Kafka, but has a lot of features built-in that either aren't in FOSS Kafka yet, like tiered storage, or won't be until Confluent doesn't dominate the PMC (like an integrated schema registry), or just can't be done very nicely, if at all, like decent multi-tenancy.

That said, it's a fast moving target, the code quality last I looked was patchy in places, ditto the documentation for both it and Bookkeeper, and the admin overhead is higher (managing bookies and brokers and Zookeepers vs. just brokers and ZK with Kafka, or when KRaft is production ready, just brokers).

This is basically an ad for GCP right?

That said, it looks like Kafka is by far and away the way to handle persistent logs/events at scale. AFAIK a company here in Japan called LINE has all their messaging flowing through a large kafka cluster themselves.

Wonder if anyone is running large NATS Jetstream[0]/Liftbridge[1] or Pulsar[2] (yahoo runs those) clusters. I guess Pulsar might be #2 in terms of adoption at large scale?

Do you need the messages to be durable, if so you can have a look at Liftbridge: - https://liftbridge.io/ - https://github.com/liftbridge-io/liftbridge

And if you want closer kafka semantics built on top of nats, check out liftbridge:

I use apprise with Gotify

You can self-host a notification service using https://gotify.net/ for example, but you may need to ask the user to disable battery usage restrictions if you don't want the OS to kill the background process.

If you do not need the state tracking, but instead need something that can deliver push notifications to you, check out ntfy and gotify

Gotify (version 2.5.1): A client for receiving push notifications

I've found Gotify to work well for that

Just FYI - there's also shoutrrr and gotify with similar functionality. I've tried them, they're very good, but not fitting my (very humble) needs.
