Sequin is a message streaming solution built on PostgreSQL, designed to simplify the process of managing data streams without the operational complexities associated with systems like Kafka. It allows users to turn their PostgreSQL databases into message streams, enabling the persistence of messages and the ability to spin up consumers for data ingestion at any time. Key features include exactly-once delivery, guaranteed message order, expressive routing without the need for topics or partitions, and a simple HTTP interface for message handling. Sequin is particularly useful for use cases such as database change data capture (CDC) and API integrations, allowing users to react to database changes or capture events from APIs. The system is open-source and can be integrated easily with existing technology stacks through various SDKs. Sequin aims to provide a straightforward and efficient way to manage streaming data, making it accessible for developers looking to implement streaming solutions quickly.
