NixTB

NixTB is an open-source software project that provides a modular runtime and toolkit for building scalable data-intensive applications. The project aims to simplify the development and operation of distributed data pipelines, event-driven architectures, and time-aware data stores by offering a cohesive set of components that can be configured and extended.

NixTB consists of a core runtime, modular adapters, and a set of tooling for deployment and monitoring. The core focuses on reliability, observability, and extensibility, while adapters enable integration with different storage backends, messaging systems, and compute engines. The tooling covers local development, packaging, and runtime management, supporting declarative configuration and runtime metrics.

Key features commonly associated with NixTB include pluggable storage backends, support for sequential and parallel data processing, and built-in fault tolerance through replication and snapshotting. The project emphasizes a transactional mindset for data processing and includes mechanisms for versioning and rollback in certain configurations. Community-driven contributions extend the ecosystem with connectors and templates for common workloads.

NixTB was introduced as an experimental project with community involvement. Over time, it released multiple stable versions and established contribution guidelines, issue trackers, and release notes. The project uses a permissive license intended to encourage adoption and collaboration, and it provides documentation, tutorials, and examples to help new users get started.
