Stream processing without DSLs. Shareable, sandboxed, fast.
Documentation • Discord • Issues
Tangent is a stream‑processing toolkit that treats plugins (user‑defined functions) as first‑class citizens – exceptionally easy to write and share. Perfect for vibe-coding those pesky log transformations.
Plugins run in a lightweight WASM sandbox with near-native speed and full language flexibility — no DSLs, no vendor-locked runtimes. Plugins are designed to be shareable, so common transformations (e.g. GuardDuty findings → OCSF) can be written once and shared with the community.
Tangent ships with everything you need to develop, test, and benchmark your own transforms:
tangent plugin scaffold– generate plugin boilerplatetangent plugin compile– compile plugins to WASMtangent plugin test– run plugin teststangent bench– measure throughput and latency before deployingtangent run– start the Tangent runtime
-
Use real languages, not DSLs – Real code > DSL. Reviewable, testable, LLM‑friendly.
-
Catch breakage before prod —
tangent plugin testfor correctness;tangent benchfor throughput/latency. -
Shareable and secure – Data transformations are easy to write and share. Publish and discover open-source plugins in the Tangent Plugins library. Each plugin runs in its own lightweight sandbox.
Benchmarks show end-to-end throughput with simple log transformation plugins implemented in Rust, Go, and Python. Each plugin is compiled to WASM and run inside Tangent.

Benchmarks are run nightly on a dedicated 16-core AMD runner. See nightly benchmarks.
