Ingestion and Transformation Engine

NextPipe

A pipeline engine for logs, events, files, APIs, CDC, enrichment, routing, and delivery.

NextPipe replaces brittle Logstash and Vector estates with a governed visual pipeline layer for ingestion, transformation, quality checks, routing, and observability.

What Makes It Different

A productized NextBrick operating layer built around real enterprise workflows, not a thin wrapper around one vendor.

Connector Framework

Ingest from SaaS, databases, APIs, files, logs, and message queues.

Visual Pipeline Rules

Transform fields, normalize schemas, enrich records, and route payloads without code sprawl.

Failure Handling

Dead-letter, replay, retry, and quality-check bad records without losing traceability.

Delivery Targets

Send clean data to search indexes, warehouses, streams, vector stores, and AI platforms.

Locked benchmark used the same 5K input and identical sink targets.
0.22-core footprint leaves CPU headroom where Logstash consumed multiple cores.
Drop-in sinks include NextDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, and Solr.
Backpressure-aware and retry-safe pipelines produced clean BigQuery commits.
