If Kafka has a UX problem, does UNIX have the answer? (with Luca Pette)

One of the recurring themes in the big data & data streaming worlds at the moment is developer experience. It seems like every major tool is trying to answer this question: how do we make large-scale data processing feel trivial?
In some places the answer is any library you like as long as it’s Python. In other realms, a mixture of Java and SQL shows promise. But as this week’s guest-Luca Pette-would say, the Unix design metaphor has plenty to give and keep on giving.
So in this episode of Developer Voices we look at TypeStream - his Kotlin project that provides a shell-like interface to data pipelines, and is gradually expanding to make integration pipelines as simple as `cat /dev/kafka | tee /dev/postgres`.

The largest scale of data I ever deal with is kilobytes of json 😅, but this was still great to learn about!
