Apache Kafka — a distributed event streaming platform implementing a variant of the Raft consensus protocol (written in Java, integrated with Scala);
Project mention: NSQ: Open-source realtime distributed messaging, billions of messages / day | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09
Project mention: Critical Analysis: Unraveling the Apache RocketMQ Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2023-33246) | dev.to | 2023-07-29
Project mention: HN-text: an easy-to-use, text-first Hacker News terminal client | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-02That sounds awesome. I have actually been working on something similar myself. I have been building a distributed NATS[0] cluster to funnel data down from the internet and index it locally. I also have a local Ollama box wired up to try to do some NLP on it.
I started with Benthos to pull in, but since the recent license changes[1] I am rethinking that :(

Project mention: Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python | dev.to | 2024-02-10Stream-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.
EMQX (optional): Open-source MQTT broker for IoT, IIoT, and connected vehicles. Used for managing your toys.
Some simple best practices around performing RabbitMQ upgrades.
Slightly OT:
Are ZeroMQ and NanoMQ still widely used (and recommended)?

https://github.com/nanomq/nanomq
EDIT : I think the best for my case will be to use the asynq library with a custom js client, it's quite easy to implement (Detailed here)

I’ve successfully worked on projects using an asynchronous event-driven way of connecting services. I really like the decoupling of business logic and the events triggering it. I highly recommend https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill to be more flexible when it comes to choosing the actual technology driving the async patter. It might be NATS today but requirements might change and you need to change. Watermill prepares you for this.
