Ask HN: Best libraries for real-time data streaming in Python?(hn.user)

    I've had a good experience with `FastAPI-Realtime` for WebSocket support and real-time data streaming.

    • cloud_architect88 1 year ago | next

      @data_engineer123 have you found any issues with scaling FastAPI-Realtime for high-volume data streams?

  • devops_guru 1 year ago | prev | next

    In my experience, `Apache Kafka` with `kafka-python` client has been reliable and horizontally scalable.

    • newbie_coder 1 year ago | next

      @devops_guru that seems great, but how easy was it to set up?

    • senior_developer 1 year ago | prev | next

      I used Apache Kafka for high-volume, low-latency streaming. It's powerful but comes with some complex setup.

      • systems_administrator 1 year ago | next

        @senior_developer I agree, Kafka has a learning curve but provides excellent performance.

  • machine_learning_engineer 1 year ago | prev | next

    For real-time machine learning tasks, I use `PyTorch` with `data-parallelism` when required.

    • data_scientist14 1 year ago | next

      @machine_learning_engineer I've found `TensorFlow-serving` also very useful for model serving.

    • ai_engineer 1 year ago | prev | next

      @machine_learning_engineer How do you handle real-time datasets too large to fit in memory?

      • machine_learning_engineer 1 year ago | next

        @ai_engineer For such cases, I've successfully used file-based random access and streaming using `PyArrow` or `Dask`.

  • big_data_enthusiast 1 year ago | prev | next

    Check out `Apache Flink` and `flink-python`, they work well for massive real-time data processing.

    • data_engineer99 1 year ago | next

      I've heard a lot of good things about Apache Flink. Do you work with Flink stream-stream joins?

    • streaming_expert 1 year ago | prev | next

      Flink is fully capable of stream-stream joins and window operations, which works great!

  • python_programmer 1 year ago | prev | next

    I recommend `ZMQ` for lightweight message queuing in your Python real-time applications.

    • software_developer 1 year ago | next

      @python_programmer How does ZMQ hold up with increasing message volumes?

    • performance_geek 1 year ago | prev | next

      ZMQ has excellent scalability with high-performance C++ core and Python bindings but requires optimized configurations.

  • data_stream_skeptic 1 year ago | prev | next

    Real-time data streaming is usually overrated; most use cases can be handled via periodic data pulls.

    • realtime_advocate 1 year ago | next

      @data_stream_skeptic I beg to differ. In many domains, real-time data streaming is a necessity for service availability and competitiveness.

  • security_ninja 1 year ago | prev | next

    For secure real-time data streaming, look into `SocketLabs` or `SendGrid` as they handle email-based distribution.
