Benthos is a framework for creating declarative stream processors where a pipeline of one or more sources, an arbitrary series of processing stages, and one or more sinks can be configured in a single config:

input:
  gcp_pubsub:
    project: foo
    subscription: bar

pipeline:
  processors:
    - mapping: |
        root.message = this
        root.meta.link_count = this.links.length()
        root.user.age = this.user.age.number()

output:
  redis_streams:
    url: tcp://TODO:6379
    stream: baz
    max_in_flight: 20

Delivery Guarantees

Delivery guarantees can be a dodgy subject. Benthos processes and acknowledges messages using an in-process transaction model with no need for any disk persisted state, so when connecting to at-least-once sources and sinks it's able to guarantee at-least-once delivery even in the event of crashes, disk corruption, or other unexpected server faults.

This behaviour is the default and free of caveats, which also makes deploying and scaling Benthos much simpler.

Formatting and Linting

Benthos uses golangci-lint for formatting and linting. You can install it with make install-tools and then run:

• make fmt to format the codebase,
• make lint to lint the codebase.
