Talk
You can finally stop caring about co-partitioning, state stores and eventual consistency. Kafi Streams, built on (Py)DBSP, treats streaming like batch — strongly consistent, no special concepts. An Open Source Python library for the 80% of use cases that don't need extreme scale. Fully incremental stream processing for everyone, from day one.
