### What we like

Composable stream processing from multiple inputs, transformations, and sinks. Supports a large number of integrations from AWS SNS to SQL and Clickhouse. Handles batching and guarantees at-least-once delivery. YAML or Go config. Runs inside your Go application so it has no other moving parts, but can run independently and in AWS Lambda.

### Tradeoffs

Mixes logic into YAML if you don’t want to write it all in Go. Shouldn’t YAML just be for config? Built-in Bloblang helps, but it still lacks many of the benefits of a real language e.g. editor support.
