Best Real-Time Data Streaming Tools for Linux

Apache Kafka® is an open-source, distributed streaming platform. Scale production clusters up to a thousand brokers, trillions of messages per day, petabytes of data, hundreds of thousands of partitions. Elastically expand and contract storage and processing. Stretch clusters efficiently over availability zones or connect separate clusters across geographic regions. Process streams of events with joins, aggregations, filters, transformations, and more, using event-time and exactly-once processing. Kafka’s out-of-the-box Connect interface integrates with hundreds of event sources and event sinks including Postgres, JMS, Elasticsearch, AWS S3, and more. Read, write, and process streams of events in a vast array of programming languages.

Scale from zero to millions of events per second. Arroyo ships as a single, compact binary. Run locally on MacOS or Linux for development, and deploy to production with Docker or Kubernetes. Arroyo is a new kind of stream processing engine, built from the ground up to make real-time easier than batch. Arroyo was designed from the start so that anyone with SQL experience can build reliable, efficient, and correct streaming pipelines. Data scientists and engineers can build end-to-end real-time applications, models, and dashboards, without a separate team of streaming experts. Transform, filter, aggregate, and join data streams by writing SQL, with sub-second results. Your streaming pipelines shouldn't page someone just because Kubernetes decided to reschedule your pods. Arroyo is built to run in modern, elastic cloud environments, from simple container runtimes like Fargate to large, distributed deployments on the Kubernetes logo Kubernetes.
