Optimizing Conduit - 5x the Throughput

In this blog, we dive into how Conduit transitioned from a flexible but slower architecture to a high-performance streaming engine. We explore the limitations of the old DAG-based design, its impact on ordering guarantees and backpressure, and why switching to a Worker-Task Model drastically improved throughput and efficiency. With real-world performance benchmarks showing a 5x increase in message throughput, this blog is a must-read for developers and data engineers looking to optimize their data pipelines.
