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 - Conduit is related to Kafka Connect, Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, S3, Go connector plugins, Cobra, Viper, and Conduit's ecdysis CLI library. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger risk:** yellow / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
