Kafka + Arrow + Go: Building Lean Data Pipelines

Kafka + Arrow + Go = lean yet powerful data pipeline. Handles 10k+ requests/sec at sub-millisecond latencies. A sweet demo of scalable & cost-effective streaming & analytics!

CandyFlow isn’t an actual product—it’s a playful concept to showcase what happens when you combine Apache Kafka (scalable streaming), Apache Arrow (ultra-fast in-memory columnar data), and Go (efficient microservices with concurrency). By using these three technologies together, you can build a lean yet incredibly powerful data pipeline that can handle tens of thousands of requests per second at sub-millisecond latencies.

  
  
  1. Why Kafka + Arrow + Go?


Kafka:  

A bulletproof message broker that ingests massive volumes of data and streams it in real time.

Arrow:  

A columnar in-memory...
