OSS alt to closed stream processors; the fully-open Benthos; ~2100 stars; complements Benthos/redpanda-data-connect (upstream), Trigger.dev, SeaTunnel (XREF); MIT. Community fork of Benthos, created after the original (now redpanda-data/connect) moved to a restrictive source-available license -> Bento is the OSI-open continuation. Config-driven stream pipelines using official service creds. No per-platform ToS flag.
