The Stream — December 2021 edition
The December 2021 edition of The Stream: covering this month in stream processing on the internet.
We’re wrapping up an exciting year for Quix — just seven months since our product launched, we’ve seen incredible enthusiasm from customers, new users (yes, our product is still free to try, with no credit card required), and thousands of developers who want to learn more about data stream processing.
Even though stream processing is relatively new, my co-founders and I have a combined two decades of experience with it. First, we made it work for McLaren’s Formula One team. Now we’re making it work for countless industries, from manufacturing to gaming, from automotive to mobility, telco, ecommerce, finance, and the list goes on.
I encourage you to look at these industry use cases to learn more about how Quix can accelerate your business. Watch our blog, too — we’re highlighting stream processing use cases ranging from personalization in house hunting and healthcare to using stream processing for social good.
We’re out in the community sharing how data scientists and data engineers can use stream processing to build better data pipelines and get ML projects to production faster.
At the Data Science Festival in London a few weeks ago, my colleagues carried off a mix of audience input, live data, and coding on the fly to deliver real-time stream processing. With all of these variables, what can go wrong? That’s why we call it “the most dangerous demo.”
We released a white paper full of analyst insights and third-party research about how stream processing will transform the modern data stack for business leaders.
Finally, I promised you last month that we’d have a big product announcement. It’s here — read on for our introduction to Quix’s new online IDE, complete with built-in connectors to live data streams.
As always, the Quix team is eager to help you get your project off to a great start. You can book a chat with our friendly experts to talk through your project goals and technical challenges. Or come chat with us on Slack.
My colleagues and I all wish you a safe and happy holiday season!

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Check out the repo
Our Python client library is open source, and brings DataFrames and the Python ecosystem to stream processing.
