In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Streamlio co-founders Karthik Ramasamy and Matteo Merli discuss their company's new streaming data platform, which is built atop Apache Heron, Apache Pulsar and Apache BookKeeper -- technologies the two helped develop while at Twitter and Yahoo, respectively. They explain how the underlying technologies differ from more well-known open source projects -- including Apache Kafka -- and the ideal use cases for the type of performance Streamlio claims.

Additionally, GeekWire cloud and enterprise editor Tom Krazit is on to discuss Microsoft's $7.5 billion acquisition of GitHub. Tom and host Derrick Harris analyze why the deal happened and what this might mean for Microsoft, it cloud competitors and the world of GitHub alternatives.
