Concord: Simple & Flexible Stream Pr...

If you’re trying to process financial market data, monitor IoT sensor metrics or run real-time fraud detection, you’ll be thinking of stream processing. Stream processing sounds wonderful in concept, but scaling and debugging stream processing frameworks on distributed systems can be a nightmare. In clustered environments, your logs are scattered across many different computers making errors and strange behaviors are hard to trace. On frameworks like Apache Storm, the many layers of abstraction make it difficult to predict performance and do capacity planning. In micro batching frameworks like Spark Streaming, stateful aggregations can be a hassle. Moreover, in most of the existing frameworks, changing a single line of code requires a full topology redeploy causing operational strain. Concord strives to solve all the challenges above. In this talk, you’ll learn how Concord differs from other stream processing frameworks and how Concord can provide flexibility, simplicity, and predictable performance with help from Apache Mesos.
