Object storage made files serverless. We’re just doing the same thing for moving data.There’s a reason why everyone uses services like AWS S3, or Google Cloud Storage, and why they are at the heart of all modern data infra. They offer incredible scale, usage-based pricing, granular authentication, and no operational overhead. You architect your system around them once, and they’ll grow with you.Streams didn’t have this type of experience, so we built it. Think of it as a slightly higher abstraction.Whereas objects give you blobs of static data, streams on S2 give you a durable, total ordering of messages; they can elastically and efficiently handle both infrequent writes and high throughput pipelines. And they can be tailed by any number of consumers in real-time.Also: every stream gets its own URL, and is directly accessible over HTTP. But we also have SDKs and a CLI.
Head to the quickstart to get up and running yourself. Or try messing around with the playground.Motivated nerds can read about our architecture here, and in our technical writings on the blog.
