Accordingly, firms like Spark, Flink have spring as much as handle this ksqlDB. Many are both both java-based options or SQL-based analytics options. However, UK startup Quix says it’s a platform for creating  event-driven functions with Python, which might have makes use of in, say, physics-based information modelling and anomaly detection in machine studying.

It’s now raised a £11m / $12.9m Series A funding spherical led by London-based VC MMC Ventures, with participation from current traders Project A Ventures (out of Berlin) and Passion Capital (London).
