A fast, stream-processing framework. Wallaroo makes it easy to react to data in real-time. By eliminating infrastructure complexity, going from prototype to production has never been simpler.
When we set out to build Wallaroo, we had several high-level goals in mind:
- Create a dependable and resilient distributed computing framework
- Take care of the complexities of distributed computing "plumbing," allowing developers to focus on their business logic
- Provide high-performance & low-latency data processing
- Be portable and deploy easily (i.e., run on-prem or any cloud)
- Manage in-memory state for the application
- Allow applications to scale as needed, even when they are live and up-and-running
You can learn more about Wallaroo from our "Hello Wallaroo!" blog post and the Wallaroo overview video.
Wallaroo is a little different than most stream processing tools. While most require the JVM, Wallaroo can be deployed as a separate binary. This means no more jar files. Wallaroo also isn't locked to just using Kafka as a source, use any source you like. Application logic can be written in Python 2, Python 3, or Pony.
Wallaroo can either be installed via Docker, Vagrant or (on Linux) via our handy Wallaroo Up command.
As easy as:
docker pull wallaroo-labs-docker-wallaroolabs.bintray.io/release/wallaroo:latest
Check out our installation options page to learn more.
Once you've installed Wallaroo, Take a look at some of our examples. A great place to start are our word_count or market spread examples in Python.
"""
This is a complete example application that receives lines of text and counts each word.

More information is also on our blog. There you can find more insight into what we are working on and industry use-cases.
Wallaroo currently exists as a mono-repo. All the source that is Wallaroo is located in this repo. See application structure for more information.
