We spoke with Vigith Maurice, a principal engineer at Intuit and the co-creator of Numaproj, during the booth crawl at KubeCon. Vigith introduces Numaproj, a streaming platform designed for real-time analytics, machine learning inference, and ease of use across various developer disciplines. Recently released as version 1.0, Numaproj aims to make streaming accessible to all, requiring no new learning for those familiar with Kubernetes. With a few external contributors and usage within Intuit, the project seeks to expand its adoption and get community feedback.  00:00 Introduction00:26 Overview of Numaproj00:52 The Challenges and Solutions in Streaming02:45 Community Contributions and Future Needs03:38 Real-world Applications06:27 Unexpected Uses07:40 Closing Remarks and Future Expectations Guest: Vigith Maurice is a co-creator of Numaproj, and Principal Software Engineer for the Intuit Observability and Analytics team in Mountain View, California.
