Cloudflare, amazing services … unreachable customer support or sales (even for paying users).<p>It’s so bizarre because it’s like their product is made by one (amazingly good) company and their support/sales by another (amazing bad) company.<p>You have to escalate on Discord, HN, etc to get even the most simple of customer support or sales questions <i>acknowledged</i>.<p>It makes me super uncomfortable being a paying customer, relying upon such support & sales.<p>@eastdakota, if you’re reading this - I’d encourage you to create your own personal cloudflare (paid account) to experience this. It does seem like the first week or so of being a customer, support prioritizes your questions. Wait a month or so, then reach out to support or sales - and see how you won’t even get an acknowledgment. I only say this as a paying customer rooting for your company success.
Cloudflare seems to be the only company in the world where sales does not want to speak to you. So if Arroyo becomes part of the Cloudflare Enterprise offering, dont get your hopes up to be able to use it. Except maybe if you are already a Cloudflare Enterprise customer.<p>I have tried now for over a month to open an enterprise account with them, no luck yet. I filed tickets, called their hotline, but I just cannot get through to a sales person.<p>Are there any alternatives out there that provide a baseline of support and allow sending PHI data?
Congratulations, second streaming acquisition in recent memory, after benthos.<p>Arroyo on paper looks amazing, high performance, advanced streaming primitives like windows and joins.<p>I think / hope the foundations provide a long term alternative to flink and spark streaming, the extremely heavy jvm-based incumbents.<p>I only have ~5 hours of experience with it so def an ultra beginner, but it was very UI configuration heavy when I tried it. API based config was mentioned but didn’t slot into the way $dayjob provisions so it was a very hard sell.<p>In response to this I created a lightweight high performance dev-centric streaming solution powered by duckdb, it’s getting a little traction<p><a href="https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow">https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow</a><p>Iceberg has been one of the most popular feature so far:<p><a href="https://sql-flow.com/docs/tutorials/iceberg-sink" rel="nofollow">https://sql-flow.com/docs/tutorials/iceberg-sink</a>
