We are launching Denormalized (www.denormalized.io), a serverless real-time data platform built on Kafka and Pinot.

We felt a bit burnt out by the sheer developer toil we faced when building application around the real-time data stack and set out to create a platform to allow small teams to be very productive with realtime data without having to glue together an elaborate system to serve real-time as well as time series queries.

Here is our motivating post. Would appreciate any and all feedback.
