PicoMQ - Durable streams over HTTP on object storage

Show HN: PicoMQ – Durable Streams over HTTP, on object storage

PicoMQ is a durable, real-time streaming solution built on S3-compatible object storage. It allows you to create unlimited, independently addressable streams, each scaling from idle to high throughput. By leveraging HTTP and object storage, PicoMQ simplifies stream management and reduces infrastructure complexity, making it ideal for use cases that require reliable, scalable data streaming without the overhead of traditional message brokers.

Create a stream per use case instead of packing every record of a kind into one topic.

    Love the landing page design! I'm excited to give it a whirl this evening.

    Initially, I started to compare PicoMQ to https://github.com/s2-streamstore/s2. If you're familiar with them, how would you compare PicoMQ to S2?

    I’ve been obsessed with everything durable lately and this is good timing as electric just got acquired so the state of their durable streams project is unknown.

    Have you looked into the semantics of their like StreamDB stuff ? Pretty interesting

    Also there is this that was built on top of it. Sounds somewhat similar goal as yours but I could be off. Need to explore more

    Can you help an old man understand?

    This sounds like a kafka-like streaming system, but backed onto s3-objects?

    Doesn't this mean that write performance is going to be bad?

More from this day
