  • only if it could be run serverless.

    but nice product overall - just like s2 lite.

  • PicoMQ looks worth experimenting with during your prototype phase, especially because it is designed to run as a single binary and supports a relatively simple HTTP-based model

  • Sounds great, and documentation is very clear.

    So - in theory - something like a massive chat client, discord like, can be implemented via this solution? And what would be the pricing of such a solution. Cheap-serverless-discord

  • I've been recently exploring the object store based data stores such as turbopuffer, slateDB. have tons of questions revolving in my mind about latency and relaibility. I'll try out this to understand low level details.

  • Awesome work on this, The "one binary" approach with an embedded admin dashboard makes the barrier to entry delightfully low.

    Since you mentioned nodes are stateless and you have examples for Fly.io, how does the system handle rapid node scaling (scaling to zero and back up) in response to bursty traffic? Does the WAL recovery add significant cold-start latency for consumers?

  • I’ve been obsessed with everything durable lately and this is good timing as electric just got acquired so the state of their durable streams project is unknown.

    Have you looked into the semantics of their like StreamDB stuff ? Pretty interesting

    Also there is this that was built on top of it. Sounds somewhat similar goal as yours but I could be off. Need to explore more https://ursula.tonbo.io/

  • Can you help an old man understand?

    This sounds like a kafka-like streaming system, but backed onto s3-objects?

    Doesn't this mean that write performance is going to be bad?

  • Love the landing page design! I'm excited to give it a whirl this evening.

    Initially, I started to compare PicoMQ to https://github.com/s2-streamstore/s2. If you're familiar with them, how would you compare PicoMQ to S2?
