QCon London 2026: Introducing Tansu.io — Rethinking Kafka for Lean Operations
Our take
At QCon London 2026, Peter Morgan unveiled Tansu.io, a groundbreaking tool that reimagines Kafka for lean operations. This open-source, Kafka-compatible broker operates without a leader and can scale to zero, making it exceptionally efficient. With pluggable storage options such as S3, SQLite, and Postgres, Tansu also features broker-side schema validation and enables direct writes to Iceberg and Delta Lake.
Peter Morgan introduced Tansu at QCon London, an open-source, Kafka-compatible, stateless, leaderless broker that scales to zero, with pluggable storage (S3, SQLite, Postgres), broker-side schema validation, and direct writes to Iceberg and Delta Lake. Written in Rust, it uses 20MB of RAM and starts in 10 milliseconds.
