## 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.

That said `kamu` is already used in production.

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 <Term t="engines" id="engine" /> 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.
