KAFGRES 0.2.0: 700 MB/S KAFKA-COMPATIBLE STREAMING INSIDE POSTGRES

rynr.dev8 min read

Summary from the TLDR Data newsletter

Kafgres, a Kafka-compatible Postgres extension, reached about 700 MB/s after caching query plans, relaxing commit durability, and replacing timer-based polling with socket readiness checks. It could suit many workloads, but the single-broker setup lacks the resilience of a Kafka cluster spread across availability zones.
