Aiven, Confluent, Redpanda, StreamNative and Ververica established the Streamhouse Working Group and published an open, vendor-neutral definition of Streamhouse.

WDYT?

I work at Conduktor, so I agree with the technical building blocks being described, to form a coherent real-time architecture in a business. But right now, this feels mostly like an attempt to claim a category early rather than anything else: it's still very high-level and does not describe a concrete reference architecture.

Is this to package Kafka/streaming + Iceberg/lakehouse + catalog/governance packaged under a new name for the AI era?

I don't like seeing people market "mcp is dead" and always say the same thing, talking about context and how CLIs are better, so wrote this.

What do you think, what have you saw in terms of usage/adoption/issues?

Working on https://kapturekafka.dev, a desktop app for Kafka protocol inspection. Think Wireshark or Fiddler, but native for Kafka.

Useful to debug local Kafka apps against any cluster, intercepts the traffic, decodes the protocol. You see interesting (and weird) things when you look at the protocol. Still early, though already useful for local debugging when you know what you want.

I run a lot of small background services on my Mac (thanks Claude/Codex), and Homebrew services that I barely look at. It felt surprisingly hard to know what was actually happening on my machine and investigate/fix quickly, so I built Launchdeck: a fast TUI for launchd jobs and Homebrew services.
