Project Title

pathway — Python ETL Framework for Stream Processing and Real-Time Analytics

Overview

Pathway is a Python ETL framework designed for stream processing, real-time analytics, LLM pipelines, and RAG. It offers an easy-to-use Python API, enabling seamless integration with popular Python ML libraries. Pathway's versatility and robustness allow it to handle both batch and streaming data effectively in development and production environments.

Key Features

Easy-to-use Python API for seamless integration with ML libraries
Unified engine for batch and streaming data processing
Scalable Rust engine based on Differential Dataflow for incremental computation
Multithreading, multiprocessing, and distributed computation capabilities
Docker and Kubernetes deployment support

Use Cases

Stream processing and real-time analytics pipelines
Local development, CI/CD tests, batch jobs, stream replays, and data stream processing
Leveraging Python ML libraries for data processing tasks

Advantages

Unified codebase for local development and production environments
Scalable and performant Rust engine for efficient data processing
Full Python compatibility for ease of use and integration
Docker and Kubernetes support for easy deployment

Limitations / Considerations

The project's license is currently unknown, which may affect its use in certain commercial applications
As a relatively new framework, the community and ecosystem might not be as mature as some alternatives

Apache Kafka: A distributed streaming platform that can handle high volumes of data and is widely used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications.
Apache Flink: An open-source stream processing framework for stateful computations over data streams and also supports batch processing.
Apache Beam: A unified model for both batch and stream processing, with support for multiple languages including Python.
