Bento gets a makeover

Anyone using Bento rather than the original Benthos, now Redpanda Connect?

From GitHub it seems Bento isn't anywhere near as active as Benthos/Redpanda.

Meanwhile, there's Wombat, the open source fork made by Synadia, makers of NATS; that project looks pretty dead.

ordinarily•9mo ago
Pretty good community, Slack has 600+ users.

> the open source fork made by Synadia, makers of NATS

Well there's an anti-endorsement if I've seen one

kentm•9mo ago
Personally, I was eyeing redpanda connect for some use cases and the telemetry was a huge turnoff, even if it’s disabled. This is in addition to the licensing schemes. So my focus has been on Bento instead.
DidYaWipe•9mo ago
A makeover? This isn't the original Bento at all.

Lol I was actually looking at the Wiki earlier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento_(database)
DidYaWipe•9mo ago
Back when Apple Notes was useless because it lacked categories, folders, or any other way to ORGANIZE your notes... I turned to Bento.

I can't remember if I liked it or hated it. Probably the latter, since I haven't used it since well before it was discontinued.

rekwah•9mo ago
I'm fine with forks but hard to see @jeffail's marketing/persona of Benthos forked too. It was quirky, to say the least. Difficult line to walk, forking code brings repo docs but it feels insincere reading not on the original.
jeffail•9mo ago
Personally, I'm happy to see them evolving it with my juices left intact. When we transitioned benthos.dev to https://docs.redpanda.com/redpanda-connect we gained a much larger (and more competent) docs team, but as a consequence had to trim a lot of the old personality. I don't regret the transition but I do take a bit of comfort seeing the WarpStream peeps continue to have fun with it.

It's like shedding an almost intact full body skin and finding comfort in watching colleagues take it bowling, having a great time.

ordinarily•9mo ago
Was hoping you'd appreciate our efforts to retain your original quirky vision. We named the rice ball Geoff as a homage to you (intentionally spelled the silly way). (https://warpstreamlabs.github.io/bento/docs/about)/
ralferoo•9mo ago
FWIW in the UK, Geoff is the usual spelling (from Geoffrey) of the name. Jeff (from Jeffrey) also exists in the UK, but is much rarer, even if it's the most common form in the US.
