LIFTBRIDGE

Liftbridge is a server that implements a durable, replicated, and scalable message log. The vision for Liftbridge is to provide a "Kafka-lite" solution designed with the Go community first in mind. Unlike Kafka, which is built on the JVM and whose canonical client library is Java (or the C-based librdkafka), Liftbridge and its canonical client, go-liftbridge, are implemented in Go. The ultimate goal of Liftbridge is to provide a lightweight message-streaming solution with a focus on simplicity and usability... To this end, Liftbridge was designed to bridge the gap between sophisticated but complex log-based messaging systems like Apache Kafka and Apache Pulsar and simpler, cloud-native solutions. There is no ZooKeeper or other unwieldy dependencies, no JVM, no complicated API or configuration, and client libraries are implemented using gRPC.
