Distributed and fault-tolerant realtime computation: stream processing, continuous computation, distributed RPC, and more

Storm is a distributed realtime computation system. Similar to how Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing realtime computation. Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, is used by many companies, and is a lot of fun to use!

The Rationale page on the wiki explains what Storm is and why it was built. This presentation is also a good introduction to the project.

Storm has a website at storm-project.net. Follow @stormprocessor on Twitter for updates on the project.
