Project Status

Project Status Disclaimer

kamu is at the MVP stage of maturity, but is still actively evolving. Before v1.0 we reserve the right to break compatibility between the releases.

Therefore, we don’t recommend using kamu in production yet. When you use it for projects, make sure to maintain your source data separately and not rely on kamu for durable long-term data storage. This way any time a new version comes out that breaks some compatibility you can simply delete your workspace and re-create it from scratch in a matter of seconds.

Note on Performance

Please be patient with current performance and resource usage. Stream processing technologies is a relatively new area, and some of the data processing engines used by kamu (e.g. Apache Spark and Flink) are tailored to run in large clusters, and not on a laptop. They take a lot of resources to just boot up, so the start-stop nature of kamu’s transformations is at odds with their design. We are hoping that the industry will recognize our use-case and expect to see a better support for it in future. We are committed to continuously improving the performance and user experience.
