DevSecOps and Software

Sometimes the components that come with Benthos aren't enough. Luckily, Benthos has been designed to be easily plugged with whatever components you need.

You can either write plugins directly in Go (recommended) or you can configure Benthos to run your plugin as a subprocess.

Test Automation

Most stream processing tasks are actually just boring transformations, service queries or multiplexing. Benthos specializes in these tasks, letting you focus on the more exciting features of your architecture.

At Meltwater it's enriching over 450 million documents per day with a network of more than 20 NLP services. It sounds very interesting but rest assured, it's totally drab.

Performance Testing

Benthos runs fast, has a low memory footprint and processes messages using a transaction model, making it able to guarantee at-least-once delivery even in the event of crashes or unexpected server faults.

It's completely stateless, allowing for easy deployment and liberal scaling. It also exposes metrics and tracing events to targets of your choice.
