Vineyard is an in-memory data manager designed specifically for data-heavy analytics.
It uses shared memory to efficiently share data across different systems without needing to do serialization and deserialization. It employs a zero-copy method for sharing, which helps to avoid I/O overhead costs.
According to the project maintainers, Vineyard is ideal for complex cloud-native environments, such as Kubernetes, which makes it an ideal solution for big data analytics there.
Other key features of Vineyard include out-of-the-box data abstractions, stream pipelining, and versatile drivers for carrying out common tasks.
It currently has almost 1K stars on GitHub and about 50 contributors. In early 2021 the project was accepted into the CNCF sandbox.
