Features you will

Concurrency and Batching

Broadway is an open source library with concurrent data ingestion and processing. Outgoing data is also concurrent and can be batched.

Robust

Broadway relies on the Erlang VM and supervision trees to provide a robust failure model and graceful shutdowns.

Integrations

Broadway includes integration for RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS, Google PubSub, and Apache Kafka. You can also hook your own or use any of the community packages.

Back pressure

Broadway builds on GenStage to provide back pressure and avoid overloads, ensuring you only ingest data the system can handle. See how Discord and Change.org use GenStage at scale.

Rate limiting

A built-in rate limiter controls how to ingest data. This is useful when external factors dictate how fast your pipeline should run.

Dashboard

The Broadway Dashboard allows you to inspect your pipelines, see system parameters, and find bottlenecks.
