Open Source Rust Stream Processing Tools

Amadeus is a high-performance, distributed data processing framework written in Rust, designed to offer an ergonomic and safe alternative to tools like Apache Spark. It provides both streaming and batch capabilities, allowing users to work with real-time and historical data at scale. Thanks to Rust’s memory safety and zero-cost abstractions, Amadeus delivers performance gains while reducing the complexity and bugs common in large-scale data pipelines. It emphasizes developer productivity through a fluent, expressive API and makes it easier to build composable and reliable data transformation pipelines without sacrificing speed or safety.

Arroyo is a distributed stream processing engine written in Rust, designed to efficiently perform stateful computations on streams of data. Unlike traditional batch processing, streaming engines can operate on both bounded and unbounded sources, emitting results as soon as they are available.

CocoIndex is an open-source framework designed for building powerful, local-first semantic search systems. It lets users index and retrieve content based on meaning rather than keywords, making it ideal for modern AI-based search applications. CocoIndex leverages vector embeddings and integrates with various models and frameworks, including OpenAI and Hugging Face, to provide high-quality semantic understanding. It’s built for transparency, ease of use, and local control over your search data, distinguishing itself from closed, black-box systems. The tool is suitable for developers working on personal knowledge bases, AI search interfaces, or private LLM applications.
