Automated excerpt
Today we are building a lightweight event-driven pipeline using Kotlin coroutines and Redis Streams. Each consumer reads from a Redis consumer group via XREADGROUP and emits messages into a Kotlin Flow. runCatching { redis. xgroupCreate(stream, group, "0") } Each consumer coroutine costs roughly 200 bytes of heap. Start with Redis Streams if you are under 50K events/sec.
