Rust Data Engineering Pipeline
When data correctness and latency are paramount, Rust replaces Python/Java. This architecture ingests events from Kafka, processes them with Polars/Tokio, and writes to Delta Lake.
Core Components:
- Ingester (Rust): Tokio-based async service consuming high-velocity Kafka topics.
- Processor (Rust + Polars): In-memory columnar data frame processing for real-time aggregations.
- Kafka / Redpanda: Durable event log.
- Object Store (S3): Long-term storage in open formats (Parquet/Delta).
