Meroxa is a real-time data movement and streaming platform centered on its Conduit Platform, which provides visual/low-code configuration features for building and operating real-time data pipelines across sources and destinations (databases, SaaS apps, warehouses/lakes, streaming systems). The company also maintains Conduit (open source), described as an alternative to Kafka Connect (no JVM) for streaming data between datastores via connector plugins.
- Meroxa positions Conduit Platform as a platform with visual configuration features for real-time data movement, intended to reduce operational overhead for pipeline development and operations.
- Conduit OSS is presented as the underlying engine and is available for direct self-hosting.
Key architectural detail: Conduit uses plugin-based connectors communicating via gRPC (connectors can be written in any language if they implement the interface). The plugin approach is intended to lessen reliance on a single framework and to enable connector development in multiple programming languages.
