history

Project history and usage

Conduit is an open-source data streaming tool written in Go for building real-time pipelines between production data stores, positioned by its own metadata as a Kafka Connect replacement that does not require a JVM.

Project history

The official repository was created in January 2022. The README says Conduit was created and open-sourced by Meroxa, and describes a pipeline runtime built from connectors, processors, observability, goroutines, Go channels, and gRPC-based connector plugins.

Adoption history

Conduit targets users who want connector-based streaming without operating Kafka Connect. Official packaging includes Homebrew, release binaries, Debian and RPM packages, Docker images on GitHub Container Registry, and source builds.

How it is used

Users run the conduit service, configure it with CLI flags, CONDUIT-prefixed environment variables, or a conduit.yaml file, and define pipelines and connectors. The project documents built-in connectors for files, Kafka, PostgreSQL, S3, generator, and log use cases, plus standalone connector plugins.

Why package nerds care

For package catalogs, Conduit is interesting because it packages a data-integration runtime as a single Go binary with optional external connector binaries, offering a non-JVM distribution model for workloads often associated with Kafka Connect.

Timeline

2022: Official GitHub repository created.
2023: v0.1.0 release published.
2025: v0.14.0 release published with continued pipeline and processor work.

Related projects
