Benthos
Fancy stream processing made operationally mundane
Benthos is a high performance and resilient stream processor, able to connect various sources and sinks in a range of brokering patterns and perform hydration, enrichments, transformations and filters on payloads. It comes with a powerful mapping language, is easy to deploy and monitor, and ready to drop into your pipeline either as a static binary, docker image, or serverless function, making it cloud native as heck. Delivery guarantees can be a dodgy subject. Benthos processes and acknowledges messages using an in-process transaction model with no need for any disk persisted state, so when connecting to at-least-once sources and sinks it's able to guarantee at-least-once delivery even in the event of crashes, disk corruption, or other unexpected server faults. This behaviour is the default and free of caveats, which also makes deploying and scaling Benthos much simpler. -

Riemann
A network event stream processing system, in Clojure
Riemann aggregates events from your servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language. Send an email for every exception in your app. Track the latency distribution of your web app. See the top processes on any host, by memory and CPU. Combine statistics from every Riak node in your cluster and forward to Graphite. Track user activity from second to second. Riemann streams are just functions which accept an event. Events are just structs with some common fields like :host and :service You can use dozens of built-in streams for filtering, altering, and combining events, or write your own. Since Riemann's configuration is a Clojure program, its syntax is concise, regular, and extendable. Configuration-as-code minimizes boilerplate and gives you the flexibility to adapt to complex situations. -

SnappyData
Memory optimized analytics database, based on Apache Spark
SnappyData (aka TIBCO ComputeDB) is a distributed, in-memory optimized analytics database. SnappyData delivers high throughput, low latency, and high concurrency for a unified analytics workload. By fusing an in-memory hybrid database inside Apache Spark, it provides analytic query processing, mutability/transactions, access to virtually all big data sources and stream processing all in one unified cluster. One common use case for SnappyData is to provide analytics at interactive speeds over large volumes of data with minimal or no pre-processing of the dataset. For instance, there is no need to often pre-aggregate/reduce or generate cubes over your large data sets for ad-hoc visual analytics. This is made possible by smartly managing data in memory, dynamically generating code using vectorization optimizations, and maximizing the potential of modern multi-core CPUs. SnappyData enables complex processing on large data sets in sub-second timeframes. -

horizon
Horizon is a realtime, open-source backend for JavaScript apps
Horizon is an open-source developer platform for building sophisticated realtime apps. It provides a complete backend that makes it dramatically simpler to build, deploy, manage, and scale engaging JavaScript web and mobile apps. Horizon is extensible, integrates with the Node.js stack, and allows building modern, arbitrarily complex applications. While technologies like RethinkDB and WebSocket make it possible to build engaging realtime apps, empirically there is still too much friction for most developers. Building realtime apps now requires understanding and manually orchestrating multiple systems across the software stack, understanding distributed stream processing, and learning how to deploy and scale realtime systems. The learning curve is quite steep, and most of the initial work involves boilerplate code that is far removed from the primary task of building a realtime app.
