Project Overview
A high-performance, distributed real-time log streaming system that can process, analyze, and visualize log data from multiple sources simultaneously. Supports log aggregation, pattern detection, alerting, and real-time dashboards.
Technology Stack
- Core: Java 17+, Reactive Streams (Project Reactor)
- Networking: Netty for high-performance I/O
- Messaging: Apache Kafka for distributed streaming
- Storage: Elasticsearch for log indexing, Redis for caching
- Processing: Apache Flink/Spark Streaming for complex event processing
- Protocols: WebSocket, SSE, HTTP/2, gRPC
- Monitoring: Micrometer, Prometheus, Grafana
