It implements transaction based resiliency with back pressure, so when connecting to at-least-once sources and sinks it's able to guarantee at-least-once delivery without needing to persist messages during transit. 10 11 import ReactPlayer from 'react-player/youtube'; 12 13 <div className='container margin-vert--lg'> 14 <div className='row row--no-gutters'> 15 <ReactPlayer 16 className='col' 17 height='300px' 18 url='https://www.youtube.com/embed/88DSzCFV4Ng' 19 controls={true} 20 /> 21 </div> 22 </div> 23 24 It's [simple to deploy][docs.guides.getting_started], comes with a wide range of [connectors](#components), and is totally data agnostic, making it easy to drop into your existing infrastructure. Benthos has functionality that overlaps with integration frameworks, log aggregators and ETL workflow engines, and can therefore be used to complement these traditional data engineering tools or act as a simpler alternative. 25 26 Benthos is ready to commit to this relationship, are you? 27 28 import Link from '@docusaurus/Link'; 29 30 <Link to="/docs/guides/getting_started" className="button button--lg button--outline button--block button--primary">Get Started</Link> 31 32 ## Components 33 34 import ComponentsByCategory from '@theme/ComponentsByCategory'; 35 36 ### Inputs 37 38 <ComponentsByCategory type="inputs"></ComponentsByCategory> 39 40 --- 41 42 ### Processors 43 44 <ComponentsByCategory type="processors"></ComponentsByCategory> 45 46 --- 47 48 ### Outputs 49 50 <ComponentsByCategory type="outputs"></ComponentsByCategory> 51 52 [guides]: /cookbooks 53 [docs.guides.getting_started]: /docs/guides/getting_started 54 [docs.processors]: /docs/components/processors/about
