Meet ZeroCopy

ZeroCopy is where modern data infrastructure gets unpacked, explained, and challenged.

We created this blog because we’ve lived the chaos, from tangled data pipelines to real-time systems that lag and drift. At Streambased, we’ve spent years working across data platforms, formats, and engines, and we felt a gap: a place where sharp, practical insights into modern data systems could meet the depth of hard-earned experience.

ZeroCopy fills that gap.

This blog is for data engineers, platform teams, architects, and curious builders who want to understand not just how things work, but why they were built that way in the first place and how they could work in the future.
