The project simulates an 8×16 Clos data-center fabric ingesting ~10,000 points/second and demonstrates several advanced patterns: role-separated multi-node deployment (ingest, query, compact, and process nodes), Python Processing Engine plugins with cross-node write-back, Last Value Cache and Distinct Value Cache for sub-millisecond lookups, and per-table retention policies. Three browser-to-database integration patterns are shown side by side with live latency badges: server-side SQL via FastAPI, browser-direct SQL using DVC table-valued functions, and request-triggered Python plugins. The entire stack runs locally via docker compose and includes scenario injectors for congestion hotspot and east-west burst events. Production wiring guidance covers Telegraf input plugins for SNMP, gNMI, NetFlow/IPFIX, and vendor REST APIs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
