Personally, I'm happy to see them evolving it with my juices left intact. When we transitioned benthos.dev to https://docs.redpanda.com/redpanda-connect we gained a much larger (an…

Sure, if they change the MIT license of the core engine then you could fork it at that point. What they're doing right now is taking on a much larger maintainence burden than poten…

It absolutely doesn't need a fork. The entire project is designed specifically to allow vendors and users to have their own ecosystem of plugins and they can all compile and integr…

Hey it's Ash (the maintainer being talked about in the blog). I'm not one for fork drama and I haven't had a chance to fully read the blog so I don't have a lot to say. However, th…

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately you can't please everyone whilst also having fun, and my open source work is unapologetically fueled by fun.

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome to hear!

Yeah that's my bad, the site assumes you already know what benthos is as it's an early stages UI for it. The best place to start is https://www.benthos.dev , or if you like dumb vi…

Hey! The visuals are all via https://reactflow.dev/ , which has been pretty awesome to use.

If I want to achieve something then I find the joy in pursuing it, at which point I will naturally do it when I'm capable and will do other things when I'm not. Letting my attentio…

Hey everyone, this is a video I put together summarising a decades worth of stream processing delivery guarantee misconceptions and bugs that I've seen frequently. I'm not trying t…

I found out a few weeks ago that Bing has removed the documentation site for the open source project benthos (https://www.benthos.dev) from search results. I set up their webmaster…

I hope one day https://www.benthos.dev will feature on one of these logo collages and I can finally retire to hobby watchmaking or something.

Anecdotally I'd say professions that often double up as a hobby and don't have a significant material or energy cost to exercise will be more susceptible to burn out. If you're _re…

Maintaining an OS project definitely gives you a crash course in (and boosted respect for) non-engineering roles at tech companies. However, I'd say if you're maintaining something…

I'm massively rooting for this. I really wanted to use Gitter as the official chat for my projects, but the experience was just so painful that I ended up fragmenting the community…

That makes more sense, thanks for clarifying. Still, assuming there are no other edge cases there, it doesn't address the other problem where a hypothetical consumer of the output …

Yeah but the first time it was read the key was stored in RocksDB, so the second time it gets consumed after the crash: "If the message already exists in RocksDB, the worker simply…

"What’s more, we want to ensure the information about which events we’ve seen is written durably so we can recover from a crash, and that we never produce duplicate messages in our…

"amounts to 1.5% of its worldwide turnover in 2017" I imagine that's a significant sum but I'm struggling to get my head around it. If so then good for the ICO I suppose. I remembe…

Processor implementations are able to carry their own state, or share state across worker threads or deployments using their own mechanisms, but Benthos doesn't provide any tooling…
