I was kinda wondering about the performance of a streaming lib written in Python, but from the README it looks like they support high-performance dependencies like uvloop, RocksDB and C extensions. And it's used in production at Robinhood. This could have been written in Go, but it was written in Python. Very interesting.

In my experience, if performance is an absolute need, there are plenty of other frameworks out there. Apache Flink and Apache Apex come to mind, even though they are JVM. Whats interesting about the Python angle is I've noticed there are data science teams who would want to manage streams in production, however there tends to be a heavy dependency on python and its ecosystem (numpy, scipy, tensorflow).
