Heron is realtime analytics platform developed by Twitter. It is the direct successor of Apache Storm , built to be backwards compatible with Storm's topology API but with a wide array of architectural improvements.
For more information:
Currently, we are working on ensuring that Heron is easy to install and run in a Mesos Cluster in AWS, Mesos/Aurora in AWS, and locally on a laptop. We will post updates as we progress.
The official documentation for Heron is located at heronstreaming.io . To contribute to documentation, build and run the documentation locally. More information can be found in thedocumentation README.
