Apache Storm vs Faust: What are the differences?
What is Apache Storm? Distributed and fault-tolerant realtime computation. Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. Storm is fast: a benchmark clocked it at over a million tuples processed per second per node. It is scalable, fault-tolerant, guarantees your data will be processed, and is easy to set up and operate.
What is Faust? A library for building streaming applications in Python. It is a stream processing library, porting the ideas from Kafka Streams to Python. It provides both stream processing and event processing, sharing similarity with tools such as Kafka Streams, Apache Spark/Storm/Samza/Flink.
Apache Storm and Faust belong to "Stream Processing" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Apache Storm are:
- Storm integrates with the queueing and database technologies you already use
- Simple API
- Scalable
On the other hand, Faust provides the following key features:
- Stream processing
- Event processing
- Build high performance distributed systems
Apache Storm is an open source tool with 5.92K GitHub stars and 4K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Apache Storm's open source repository on GitHub.
