betkkel
Betkkel is a term used in distributed systems to denote a lightweight, modular software component that processes events in an asynchronous pipeline. A betkkel is designed to be small in scope, with a clearly defined interface, a local state store, and the ability to be deployed independently from other components. In practice, betkkels are used as building blocks in event-driven architectures to implement specific transformation or enrichment tasks without requiring a monolithic service.
Design and characteristics: A betkkel typically contains three layers: an input adapter to receive events from
Applications and patterns: Betkkels are used to implement micro-pipelines for real-time analytics, data enrichment, or rule-based
History and terminology: The term emerged in informal discussions about modular streaming architectures in the early
