StreamKernel a Kafka-native, high-performance Java 21 event orchestration kernel

StreamKernel is a Kafka-native, high-performance event orchestration engine designed to decouple pipeline orchestration from payload semantics—enabling low-latency data movement while supporting real-world enrichment, durability, and observability requirements.

At its core, StreamKernel provides a thin, pluggable execution kernel that manages concurrency, backpressure, and lifecycle orchestration, while delegating schema, serialization, and business logic to interchangeable components. This architectural separation allows the same kernel to drive synthetic benchmarks, production-like enrichment pipelines, and downstream systems without rewriting core flow control.
