Pathway is a Python ETL framework designed for stream processing, real-time analytics, and building LLM pipelines. It provides a high‑level API to create both batch and continuous data pipelines that can feed live AI applications.

Use cases

  • process streaming sensor data and generate real‑time dashboards
  • build LLM‑powered chatbots that query live data sources without a vector database
  • run continuous ETL jobs that combine batch and incremental updates for analytics
  • create RAG pipelines that retrieve up‑to‑date information from Kafka streams
  • integrate Python ML libraries into a live data processing workflow

When to choose

  • You need a unified framework for both batch and streaming ETL in Python.
  • Your application relies on real‑time data updates for LLM or RAG use cases.
  • You want tight integration with popular Python ML libraries and easy deployment.

When to avoid

  • You require a low‑level, language‑agnostic streaming engine (e.g., Java/Scala).
  • Your project is limited to static, offline data processing only.
  • You need a fully managed cloud service rather than a self‑hosted library.
