Microsoft Launches Drasi Open Source Data Processing System for Efficient Event Detection and Response
TapTechNews October 5th news, on October 3rd, Microsoft Corporation released a blog post introducing the launch of a brand-new Drasi open source data processing system, which simplifies the detection and response processes of key events in complex infrastructure.
Traditional data processing systems usually require centralized data storage and continuous querying of the database, while Microsoft's Drasi can track changes in a dynamic environment and automatically react to them, mainly by tracking event logs and change feeds, providing a more efficient cross-system data processing method.
Drasi adopts a low-code query basic method and supports developers to write rich graph queries (TapTechNews note: refers to performing complex and diverse queries in a graph database) to define the types of changes they wish to detect.
The workflow includes three components: data sources, continuous queries, and reactions.
Data Sources (Sources): Connect to various data sources in the system and continuously monitor key changes. Data sources track application logs, database updates, or system metrics and collect relevant information in real-time.
Continuous Queries (ContinuousQueries): Drasi uses continuous queries instead of manual point-in-time queries to continuously evaluate incoming changes according to predefined criteria. The query language does not require data to be sorted in advance.
Reactions (Reactions): When the change completes the continuous query, Drasi will execute the registered automatic reaction. These reactions can send alerts, update other systems or perform remedial steps, all tailored to your operational requirements.
Microsoft said that Drasi currently supports PostgreSQL, MicrosoftDataverse and AzureEventGrid, and organizations can also build their own integrations according to needs.
In terms of open source, Drasi is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is applicable to both commercial and non-commercial projects.
