About:
Benthos is a high-performance stream processor for data ingestion and transformation. It connects various sources and sinks, including Kafka, AWS, and HTTP, with a focus on reliability and ease of configuration. It allows users to implement complex data pipelines using a declarative YAML configuration.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML configuration for building pipelines
  • Extensive library of connectors for sources and sinks
  • Support for custom logic via WebAssembly, Lua, and Go plugins
  • Observability with built-in metrics, logging, and tracing
Use Cases:
  • Aggregating logs and metrics from disparate systems
  • ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations for data migration
  • Pre-processing data streams before storage or analysis
Alternatives:
  • Vector – Similar performance focus, but written in Rust with a different configuration syntax
  • Logstash – More mature but generally heavier on resource usage and JVM dependency
