Htier

What is Htier?

Htier is a platform that helps you move, store, and process real-time data. Think of it as a high-speed messaging and data pipeline that lets different parts of your business talk to each other — instantly, reliably, and at scale.

With Htier, you can:

Send and receive real-time messages (called events) between systems.
Store those events safely for as long as you need.
React to or analyze those events — either immediately or later.

Htier is built to handle massive amounts of data, keep running even if some parts fail, and scale easily as your needs grow. You can run it in the cloud, on your own servers, or in a mix of both.

A Quick Example: What Does a Data Stream Look Like?

Let’s say you run an online store. Here’s how Htier might help you:

Scenario: A customer places an order

Event Created Your website creates an event when Alice buys something:

Key: Alice
Value: Bought item #123 for $59.99
Timestamp: Sep 25, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Event Sent to Htier Topic This event is sent to a topic called “purchases”.

Other systems respond instantly:

📦 Inventory is updated
💳 Billing system logs the charge
📊 Analytics dashboard shows new sale
✉️ Email system sends Alice a receipt

All these systems are consumers of the same event stream — meaning they automatically get the information and can act on it, without needing to contact each other directly.

And since Htier stores events safely, you can also go back and reprocess this data later — great for reports, audits, or fixing issues.

What Makes Htier Special?✅ Built with Rust

Speed – Rust is extremely fast and efficient
Safety – Rust prevents many common bugs and errors
Reliability – Systems built in Rust are more secure and crash-resistant

By choosing Rust, the developers of Htier made performance, safety, and stability a core part of the platform. That’s why Htier is a great fit for mission-critical systems where data loss or downtime isn’t an option.

How Does Htier Work?

Htier has two main parts:

1. Servers: These store your data and manage connections to other systems. Some focus on storing event data (called brokers), while others help move data in and out of Htier from systems like databases or other apps (via Htier Connect). Htier is fault-tolerant — if one server goes down, others take over automatically to keep things running.

2. Clients: These are applications that send and receive events. You or your developers can use ready-made tools in popular programming languages like Java, Python, Go, C++, or Rust itself. You can also connect using simple REST APIs.

Key Terms (Explained Simply) 🧾 Event

“Alice bought item #123 for $59.99”

Events include:

A key (who/what it's about)
A value (what happened)
A timestamp
Optional details (headers)

📨 Producers & Consumers:

Producers send events to Htier
Consumers read and process events from Htier
They don’t need to know about each other — Htier handles the delivery.

📂 Topics:

Events are organized into topics, like folders.
Example: All purchase events go into a topic called “purchases”.
Topics can have many producers and many consumers — it's a flexible system.

🪣 Partitions:

Each topic is split into partitions (like buckets), spread across servers. This allows:
Faster performance
Scalable data handling
Guaranteed ordering of related events
Events with the same key (e.g. "Alice") always go to the same partition, and consumers read them in the exact order they were written.
