We’re excited to share the final part of our year-end results! 2024 wasn’t just another year—it was a transformative one. We faced challenging decisions, but each step shaped a stronger foundation for what’s next. As we reflect, let’s celebrate the achievements that continue to inspire pride in both our team and our community.
One of Our Biggest Leaps This Year—Introducing Modules
This year, we made working with dataflows even simpler with the introduction of the Module Hub. Designed to take the hassle out of repetitive tasks, the Hub offers pre-built connectors and advanced operators to streamline your workflows.
As our CEO, Zander Matheson puts it, “It’s about focusing on what drives impact, not on repetitive tasks.” Modules make that possible. By simplifying the process of connecting to sources like Kafka or DeltaLake and enabling efficient transformations with stateful operators, teams can build real-time streaming pipelines more effectively.
The numbers tell the story—up to 44% of engineering time is often spent creating in-house connectors.
Bytewax Modules help reclaim that time while significantly reducing operational costs. It’s about enabling teams to work smarter, solve challenges faster, and achieve meaningful outcomes.
Modules represent a practical, modular approach to real-time data engineering, setting the foundation for more efficient and focused workflows.
Updated Guides for Real-Time Data Mastery
This year, we revisited and revamped our tutorials to make them more practical, engaging, and impactful. Here’s a snapshot of what’s new:
Processing Smoothie Orders with Bytewax Operators Learn to chain Bytewax operators to filter, enrich, and aggregate streaming data, such as processing smoothie orders. This guide teaches you how to perform stateless transformations using practical examples like filtering orders containing specific ingredients or calculating order totals with tax.
Building Sessions from Search Logs This guide walks through creating search sessions and calculating Click-Through Rates (CTR) from streaming data. You'll use Bytewax’s windowing operators to aggregate user interactions and generate actionable insights for marketers, developers, and analysts.
Handling Missing Values in Data Streams Handle missing data in real-time streams with Bytewax! This guide demonstrates building a custom sliding window to impute missing values using NumPy, ensuring accurate and complete data for your applications.
Real-Time Financial Exchange Order Book Maintain a real-time cryptocurrency order book using Bytewax. Connect to Coinbase’s WebSocket, update order books dynamically, and identify trading opportunities by analyzing spreads. This guide combines Python skills with financial data processing.
Recoverable Streaming Shopping Cart Application Build a fault-tolerant streaming system that joins customer orders and payments into a recoverable shopping cart. Learn state management techniques to handle failures gracefully and emit complete, consistent results. This guide highlights the importance of reliability in real-time applications.
Introducing Windowing: Processing Smoothie Orders Using Windowing Operators Master windowing techniques in Bytewax through tumbling, sliding, and session windows. Analyze smoothie order streams by aggregating and grouping data based on time windows. This guide is part two of the operator series and teaches how to incorporate windowing into your dataflows.
Profiling Streaming Time Series Data Combine Bytewax with YData Profiling to monitor and assess data quality in real-time streams. This guide explains how to create tumbling windows, analyze IoT telemetry data, and generate HTML reports to visualize data characteristics, ensuring high-quality streaming data.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄
As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you a joyous holiday season. From all of us at Bytewax, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! May your holidays be filled with love, happiness, and inspiration for the exciting year ahead. Thank you for being part of our journey—we couldn’t have done it without you.
Throughout our letters, we’ve talked a lot about our community and shared words of gratitude—not out of repetition, but with intention. It’s our way of reminding you how incredible you all are and how much people and connections truly matter. We’re lucky to have you, and we hope we’ve been just as valuable to you.
With gratitude and best wishes,
The Bytewax Team 💛
