Reactive Event Processing

Orchestrate Real-Time Data Streams at Scale

Ditch brittle ETL batch jobs and locked-in iPaaS. layline.io's reactive engine turns chaotic event streams into reliable, scalable dataflows—so your devs build fast, and your ops run forever.

Why layline.io

Platform Capabilities

Built for real-time at scale, designed for developer velocity

10M+ events/sec

Infinite horizontal scale.

Scale from 1K to 10M+ events/second without code changes. Add nodes to your cluster and watch throughput grow linearly. Cluster mesh distributes workloads across regions, zones, or edge locations. Auto-scaling policies adjust capacity in real-time based on traffic patterns.

Performance metrics
Fast hot reload

Low-latency event processing.

Reactive Engine processes events in single-digit milliseconds with predictable latency. Backpressure handling prevents cascading failures when traffic spikes—events flow through gracefully instead of crashing your pipeline. Hot-reload config changes without restarting containers.

Build pipelines in hours, not weeks.

Visual workflow editor accelerates pipeline development—drag, drop, configure your data flows in minutes. When you need custom logic, drop in JavaScript or Python processors seamlessly. Manage multiple deployment targets with environment-specific parameters—all within a single project. Manage configs with your favorite version control system.

Under the Hood

Technical Architecture

Reactive streams, distributed processing, and developer-first design

How It All Works Together

layline.io orchestrates data flow from any source to any destination using a reactive, event-driven architecture. Events flow through processors that transform, enrich, aggregate, and route data—all with backpressure handling and exactly-once delivery guarantees.

Reactive Streams

Pekko actors handle backpressure and asynchronous processing

Processors

Mapping and filtering processors plus custom JavaScript/Python logic

Error Handling

Transaction control with commit/rollback support

Reactive Streams with Apache Pekko

Built on battle-tested Pekko actors for non-blocking, asynchronous event processing

Backpressure Handling

Downstream slow? No problem. Reactive streams automatically signal upstream to slow down, preventing memory overflow and cascading failures.

Error Handling & Recovery

Transaction control with commit/rollback support ensures data integrity. Define custom error handling policies and recovery strategies per workflow step.
