Real-time Streaming

From batch to streaming-native.

We design streaming platforms that survive real traffic: bounded latencies, replay, exactly-once delivery and the observability to know what's actually happening at the topic level.

What we ship

Capabilities

Kafka or Redpanda backbones with CDC from operational databases — sub-second pipelines that feed dashboards, fraud models and customer-facing experiences.

  • 01

    Kafka / Redpanda event backbone

    High-throughput, durable event streaming — Kafka on managed cloud or Redpanda bare-metal for cost-sensitive deployments scaling past 1M events/sec.

  • 02

    Debezium CDC from Postgres / MySQL / Mongo

    Capture every write from your operational databases in real time — replicated to the lakehouse and downstream consumers without polling or batch delays.

  • 03

    Flink or Spark Structured Streaming

    Stateful stream processing for fraud scoring, sessionization and real-time aggregations — exactly-once semantics under failures and rebalances.

  • 04

    Exactly-once delivery & replay

    Idempotent producers, transactional consumers and topic retention configured so any consumer can replay from any offset without duplicates.

Outcomes

  • Sub-second data for dashboards and models
  • Reliable CDC from your operational DBs
  • Streaming foundations that scale past 1M events/sec

In the field

  • 1

    Mobile money fraud detection

    Transaction events scored in under 200 ms — fraud model decision before the payment clears. 3× improvement in detection rate.

  • 2

    Real-time BI for regional retailer

    CDC from 120 POS systems into a live Metabase dashboard — inventory and revenue visible as transactions happen.

  • 3

    Telco churn prediction

    Usage events streamed into a feature store — churn model retrained nightly on fresh features, not stale batch snapshots.

How we deliver

Our delivery process

Every engagement follows the same rigorous four-stage approach — so you know exactly what to expect, and when.

  1. Step01

    Traffic profiling

    We profile your peak event rates, retention requirements and consumer SLAs before sizing any broker topology.

  2. Step02

    CDC connector setup

    Debezium connectors installed, tested and validated against your production database — slot lag and WAL retention tuned to your write volume.

  3. Step03

    Stream processing design

    Flink or Spark jobs designed with state backend sizing, watermarking and checkpointing to survive failures without data loss.

  4. Step04

    Monitoring & alerting

    Consumer lag dashboards, dead-letter topic alerting and broker health metrics — you know about a problem before your users do.
