How to build a plugin system in Rust
May 29, 2024
Software used by businesses often needs to be extensible. For Arroyo, a real-time SQL engine, that means supporting user-defined functions (UDFs). But how can we support dynamic, user-written code in a static language like Rust? This post dives deep into the technical details of building a dynamically-linked, FFI-based plugin system in Rust.

What is stateful stream processing?
January 22, 2024
Arroyo is a stateful stream processing engine—which means that it's able to remember information about previously seen events, enabling features like joins, windows, and aggregations. When should you choose a stateless or a stateful streaming system? And how do stateful engines like Arroyo and Flink mitigate the difficulty of dealing with large amounts of state?

Streaming data to S3 is surprisingly hard
September 8, 2023
Arroyo 0.5 added the FileSystem connector, a high-performance, transactional sink that lets you write pipeline outputs to file systems and object stores like S3—and makes Arroyo a great tool for performing real-time ETL. This turns out to be surprisingly tricky to do well. Read on for a deep dive into how Arroyo solved this with a new checkpointing strategy and some clever Parquet tricks.
