The Fluss project, an open‑source next‑generation stream storage engine donated by Alibaba, has entered the Apache Software Foundation incubator, offering columnar streaming, real‑time updates, lake‑flow integration, impressive performance metrics, and a growing global developer community.
Alibaba unveiled the open‑source Fluss project, a next‑generation real‑time stream storage built for Apache Flink that tackles traditional Kafka‑Flink limitations with millisecond‑level reads, columnar pruning, CDC support, and seamless Lakehouse integration, aiming to boost low‑latency analytics at scale.
Pravega, Dell’s native stream storage project, addresses the challenges of modern low‑latency, exactly‑once stream processing by combining tiered storage, Apache BookKeeper, and seamless Flink integration, offering a unified solution that reduces development, storage, and operational costs compared to traditional message systems like Kafka.
