DCvaste

DCvaste is a cross-platform framework for real-time data visualization and analysis in distributed systems. It is designed to let developers define data-flow graphs declaratively and render interactive dashboards across multiple runtimes. The project envisions an ecosystem of core components: a graph compiler, a set of data adapters for sources such as Kafka, MQTT, and REST endpoints, and rendering backends for web and desktop clients.

DCvaste uses a declarative data-flow language that describes how data is transformed and visualized. At build time, graphs are compiled into a low-latency runtime, enabling efficient streaming and interactive updates. The architecture emphasizes modularity and extensibility, supporting plugins and a separation between data processing and presentation layers.

Architecturally, it supports streaming and batch processing, time-windowed aggregations, and built-in access control and security features. It provides a modular plugin system to integrate new data sources, visualization components, and export formats. Rendering options include web-based dashboards and desktop clients, with potential for WebGL or SVG backends.

Applications include IoT telemetry, financial monitoring, scientific experiments, and enterprise analytics. DCvaste aims to enable rapid dashboard creation, real-time alerting, and collaborative exploration of data across teams and environments.

Reception in community discussions highlights scalability and interoperability as strengths, while noting a relatively steep learning curve and some complexity in configuring data sources. See also data visualization, streaming analytics, dashboards, and data-flow languages.
