Show HN: Tansu – Kafka Compatible Broker Transforms Proto/Avro/JSON into Parquet
What is it?
- Tansu is an Kafka compatible broker with S3 or PostgreSQL storage - Broker schema validation of Proto/Avro/JSON backed topics - Proto/Avro/JSON backed topics are also written as Parquet record batches for easy ingestion by downstream tooling
Step by step tutorial: https://blog.tansu.io/articles/parquet
Tansu is written in async Rust with the Tokio runtime. We build a single static linked binary that contains the broker, proxy and admin/utility commands in ~60MB. Also available as a from scratch docker container.
The Kafka protocol is implemented with serde using proc macros to transform the JSON definitions into Rust data types (https://blog.tansu.io/articles/serde-kafka-protocol).
Proto/Avro/JSON is converted into Apache Arrow data types, and then into Apache Parquet with a sprinkle of Apache Datafusion.
We also have an example of it running on fly.io with tigris (https://blog.tansu.io/articles/fly-with-tigris) that scales brokers back to 0 between requests.
Looking forward to any feedback and hope that Tansu can improve your workflow!

Show HN: Remarking – like Twitter/Bluesky but by appending to a single text file
Remark.ing is a microblogging site that aggregates markwhen[0] documents. A markwhen document is just a collection of dated entries in a single file. So, with remarking, each of those dated entries gets its own "post" that has its own url and comments and whatnot. It's like handwriting RSS. And your home feed is a chronologically sorted list of those entries from different documents. That's it!
Remarking has its own UI for posting and writing but is backed by the documents you choose to upload/share in meridiem[1]. So you can still use meridiem to add stuff in the future, edit previous posts, etc.
The motivation here is really that microblogging sites need not be anything more than interweaved journals, which is what this is. You can backfill experiences that you want to remember, schedule posts in the future, all with a single text file.
