infinyon/fluvio — Rust event stream processing framework (Apache-2.0, 5.2k stars) — Kafka-alternative in Rust
trending-repo
MEDIUM
Fluvio is a distributed event stream processing engine written entirely in Rust (Apache-2.0, 5,191 stars). It provides a unified streaming and stream processing paradigm with native Rust client, WASM-based smart modules for in-stream transformation, and a SQL query interface. Unlike Redpanda (C++ core, Kafka protocol), Fluvio is pure Rust and significantly lighter. Last pushed 2026-03-20, 146 open issues. The project is MAINTAINED but less battle-tested than Redpanda for production workloads. No known CVEs.

ODS Impact
ODS uses Redpanda as its event bus. Fluvio is not a recommended replacement given Redpanda's maturity, but it is worth monitoring as an alternative for lighter-weight event streaming in local dev environments or for services that need embedded streaming (e.g., within a Tauri desktop app for DocSign). The WASM smart modules pattern is interesting for in-flight event transformation without a separate Kafka Streams service.
