Nussknacker vs. SQLstream

Nussknacker provides domain specialists with a low-code visual platform that enables them to design and implement real-time decision-making algorithms without the need for traditional coding. This tool facilitates immediate actions on data, allowing for applications such as real-time marketing strategies, fraud detection, and comprehensive insights into customer behavior in the Internet of Things. A key feature of Nussknacker is its visual design interface for crafting decision algorithms, which empowers non-technical personnel, including analysts and business leaders, to articulate decision-making logic in a straightforward and understandable way. Once created, these scenarios can be easily deployed with a single click and modified as necessary, ensuring flexibility in execution. Additionally, Nussknacker accommodates both streaming and request-response processing modes, utilizing Kafka as its core interface for streaming operations, while also supporting both stateful and stateless processing capabilities to meet various data handling needs. This versatility makes Nussknacker a valuable tool for organizations aiming to enhance their decision-making processes through real-time data interactions.

In the realm of IoT stream processing and analytics, SQLstream has been recognized as the leading solution by ABI Research. Our technology, utilized by major corporations such as Verizon, Walmart, Cisco, and Amazon, facilitates applications across various environments, including on-premises, cloud, and edge computing. SQLstream's capabilities allow for the generation of urgent alerts, dynamic dashboards, and immediate responses with latency measured in sub-milliseconds. This enables smart cities to efficiently redirect emergency services and optimize traffic signal operations based on current conditions. Additionally, security frameworks can swiftly identify and neutralize cyber threats, ensuring safety and integrity. Furthermore, AI and machine learning models, developed using streaming sensor inputs, are capable of forecasting potential equipment malfunctions. Due to SQLstream's remarkable speed — accommodating up to 13 million rows per second for each CPU core — organizations have significantly minimized their operational costs and physical infrastructure. Our advanced in-memory processing fosters capabilities at the edge that would typically be unfeasible. Users can acquire, prepare, analyze, and take action on data across various formats and sources seamlessly. With StreamLab, our user-friendly, low-code development environment, creating data pipelines becomes a task that can be accomplished in minutes rather than months. Instant script editing and real-time result visualization without the need for compilation streamline the development process further. Deployment is made easier with robust support for Kubernetes, simplifying integration into existing workflows. The installation process is user-friendly and compatible with a variety of platforms, including Docker, AWS, Azure, Linux, VMWare, and others, ensuring flexibility for diverse operational needs.
