Bring your Data
Use built-in connectors to effortlessly bring all your data to Fennel.
Derive Data via Streaming Pipelines
Define Features
Query via the REST API
Rust
The primary language of our backend, relying heavily on Tokio's async runtime
Kafka
Handles all inflow data. All streaming jobs read and write to Kafka.
RocksDB
Handles all at-rest data, with some also offloaded to Redis.
Pandas
Used as the dataframe interface between user-written code and the server.
gRPC
Used alongside Protobufs to write services and exchange data.
Kubernetes
For maintaining the lifecycle of all running services.
Pulumi
Used for provisioning Fennel infrastructure as code.
PostgreSQL
Used as a central metadata store, with the exception of customer data.
