StoatFlow: Kafka Streams compatible engine built to scale up — not out
The first alpha is here. Kafka Streams DSL on a single-replica runtime with virtual-thread parallelism — measurably less CPU, memory, and latency on the same hardware.
Hot standby for StoatFlow: failover in seconds, not a cold restore
StoatFlow recovery has always been fast restart — but restart time scales with state. Hot standby is an opt-in active/passive pair that fails over in seconds regardless of state size, with exactly-once preserved across the handoff. Redundancy, not scale-out.
