uefent

uefent is a modular software framework for unified event processing and transformation across distributed systems. It aims to simplify the collection, routing, and real-time analysis of streaming data produced by sensors, applications, and services. The design favors pluggable components and a lightweight runtime suitable for both data centers and edge environments.

Core architecture includes an event bus for inter-component communication, a pipeline of processors that can be composed and reused, and adapters for common data sources and sinks. It supports backpressure-aware scheduling, schema evolution, and fault-tolerant processing. The framework provides APIs in multiple languages and can be deployed in containerized environments.

Interoperability is a priority; uefent offers connectors for widely used messaging systems such as Apache Kafka and NATS, and supports protocols like MQTT and AMQP. Security features include TLS encryption, mutual authentication, and role-based access control, along with audit logging and policy enforcement for data flows.

In practice, uefent is used in enterprise and research contexts to unify event streams across heterogeneous systems and to enable real-time analytics and alerting. It is often evaluated against other stream processing platforms, with considerations ranging from latency and throughput to ecosystem maturity and developer experience. The project maintains community documentation and example adapters to foster interoperability.
