Celebrating the experimental launch of hubs.neynar.com

(niche feature, bit more iykyk)

For those streaming raw events straight from a hub gRPC, you know the events need to be massaged and joined with other data before they can be used in your app.

To solve for that, we now have a real time Kafka stream where developers can consume fully hydrated events and use them directly in their applications.

Screenshot below shows raw hub event on the left and Kafka stream event on the right, you'll notice even the embed metadata is hydrated in Kafka.

The Kafka pipeline stores the events for longer so if your app missed something, you can pick back up from where you left off. Overall, should make development a lot easier compared to wrangling raw hub streams.

Reach out if interested. There is a node example you can plug and play to get started: https://github.com/neynarxyz/farcaster-examples/tree/main/neynar-webhook-kafka-consumer

If you want to subscribe to our Kafka data pipeline but don't want to pay for all of the messages you're not interested in, such as reactions, now you don't have to. In addition to our aggregated offering, we have broken out farcaster events into separate Kafka topics for users, casts, reactions, follows, and signers to save you $ and bandwidth. Reach out to @rish if you're interested!
