[Arroyo](https://arroyo.dev) is a distributed stream processing engine written in Rust, designed to efficiently
perform stateful computations on streams of data. Unlike traditional batch processing, streaming engines can operate
on both bounded and unbounded sources, emitting results as soon as they are available.
In short: Arroyo lets you ask complex questions of high-volume real-time data with subsecond results.
## Features
π¦ SQL and Rust pipelines
π Scales up to millions of events per second
πͺ Stateful operations like windows and joins
π₯State checkpointing for fault-tolerance and recovery of pipelines
π Timely stream processing via the [Dataflow model](https://www.oreilly.com/radar/the-world-beyond-batch-streaming-101/)
## Use cases
Some example use cases include:
* Detecting fraud and security incidents
* Real-time product and business analytics
* Real-time ingestion into your data warehouse or data lake
* Real-time ML feature generation
## Why Arroyo
There are already a number of existing streaming engines out there, including [Apache Flink](https://flink.apache.org),
[Spark Streaming](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-programming-guide.html), and
[Kafka Streams](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/streams/). Why create a new one?
* _Serverless operations_: Arroyo pipelines are designed to run in modern cloud environments, supporting seamless scaling,
recovery, and rescheduling
* _High performance SQL_: SQL is a first-class concern, with consistently excellent performance
* _Designed for non-experts_: Arroyo cleanly separates the pipeline APIs from its internal implementation. You don't
need to be a streaming expert to build real-time data pipelines.
## Getting Started
You can get started with a single node Arroyo cluster by running the following docker command:
```
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/arroyosystems/arroyo-single:latest
```
or if you have Cargo installed, you can use the `arroyo` cli:
```
$ cargo install arroyo
$ arroyo start
```
Then, load the Web UI at http://localhost:8000.
For a more in-depth guide, see the [getting started guide](https://doc.arroyo.dev/getting-started).
Once you have Arroyo running, follow the [tutorial](https://doc.arroyo.dev/tutorial) to create your first real-time
pipeline.
