  • librdkafka

    The Apache Kafka C/C++ library

  • We could have made some changes at the librdkafka level (see this), but we didn’t really want to pursue this (at least not yet).

  • redpanda

    Redpanda is a streaming data platform for developers. Kafka API compatible. 10x faster. No ZooKeeper. No JVM!

  • The native Kafka connector included with Tinybird lets you connect to a Kafka cluster, whether that’s a self-hosted Apache Kafka instance or any one of the hosted/self-hosted variants out there (Confluent, Redpanda, Upstash, etc.).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ApacheKafka

    A curated re-sources list for awesome Apache Kafka

  • Apache Kafka is the foundational architecture most developers choose when building streaming applications. It’s incredibly scalable, fault-tolerant, and dependable. And its popularity has yielded vast knowledge with an active community to support developers when they build applications. Naturally, Kafka is now a table-stakes data platform component for nearly every major enterprise that deals with events data.
