What do you like best about the product?

I planned on trying out Decodable to maybe some later day migrate a previously batched pipeline. It worked fine and was cheap, but I never had real-time data for testing.

After about 3 hours of tinkering on a slow Tuesday afternoon, not only did I finish my tests, but actually migrated the whole pipeline. And reduced technical debt in the meantime, as there now are fewer systems to maintain.

I checked in with my stream a few times, but never had to adjust anything (so far). It just works.

What do you dislike about the product?

My stream only processes about 1 to 2 records per second - even the small tasks are overpowered for that. To save energy and resources, even smaller task sizes (maybe by sharing task resources?) would be cool :)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

By using Decodable I can access real-time data and having reduced overhead at the same time: One stream replaced 1 intermediate storage, 1 batch pipeline and a couple SQL scripts no longer necessary.
