Why We Built Conduit
In today’s AI data-driven world, organizations need real-time data integration that is both scalable and easy to use. However, existing solutions often presented significant challenges—complex architectures, high costs, and lack of flexibility. We built Conduit to address these gaps by offering a developer-friendly, open-source data streaming platform that is lightweight, flexible, and easy to deploy. Our vision is “A world where real-time data is the default.” Our mission is “Enable anyone to leverage real-time data regardless of technical ability.” Learn more about our vision here.
Messages from the team
To mark this special occasion, we’re reflecting on our journey, sharing insights from our team, and celebrating the incredible support from our community. Hear from the Conduit team and discover how collaboration has fueled innovation in real-time data streaming.
“Not every collaboration fuels innovation in the same way—after all, no two collaborations are alike. And let me be honest: for much of the time, we’re doing what most teams do—working across distant time zones, brainstorming, reviewing code, debating design documents, and holding sync meetings.
What truly sets my team apart is the difference in how we handle our differences. Like any group, we sometimes clash with completely opposing views. Sometimes we push our opinions passionately; other times, we pragmatically decide that progress matters more than the perfect solution. And occasionally, we admit that, as much as we love our own ideas, someone else’s might be the better path forward. This honest exchange of thoughts keeps us continually improving while moving forward together.” - Haris Osmanagić, Software Engineer
“I've worked on Conduit since its infancy, watching it grow from a closed-source internal tool to a mature open-source project. Over the years, we've faced many challenges—technical, organizational, and personal—but we've always found a way through as a team. That's no surprise, given the team's talent and dedication. I'm proud of what we've achieved so far and excited for Conduit's future and growing community!”
- Lovro Mažgon, Software Engineer
“Looking back on the last four years of developing Conduit, it’s been a remarkable journey to see how an idea has grown into a thriving open-source project celebrating its third birthday. Our globally distributed team is super collaborative and supportive, and we’re never afraid to bring new perspectives to the table or challenge each other. I’m proud of the way we plan together, set clear goals, and consistently hit our milestones.
As we prepare for the highly anticipated 1.0 release, I’m continuously reminded of how special this team is, the passion for innovation, and the commitment that we share. I’m also excited to see Conduit continue to grow and reach new heights, and can’t wait for the success we’ll achieve in the years to come.” - Maha Hajja, Software Engineeer
