Hi - we think you misunderstood because you probably haven`t red the post properly. WE will implement this data streaming engine, and give it away as open source ! The reason we are asking people if they can solve this challenge, is for us to know if there are other easy to use data streaming engine that can help solve this as per our relaxed/open specifications.

Regardless, still seems like your parent company Kahler AI will leverage and monetize the engine all under the guise that its open source.

I also love that you include NO INCENTIVE with this 'challenge'. Why would anyone submit code to you guys for free?

All smells fishy to me.

Kahler is not parent company of Nanosai - though both share Zaiku Group as parent with Nanosai being an open source JV project with Jenkov Aps.

Also, yes the streaming engine will be useful to some use cases for Kahler. However, it is open source and so anyone will be able to access the same underlying engine.

By the way, we already have several people signed to the challenge including people working for notable tech companies!:)

Also, we are NOT asking people to submit their code - we are coding our streaming engine ourselves https://github.com/nanosai/stream-ops-java! Instead we are asking people to share their benchmarks with us and use case etc.
