Frequently Asked Questions

In house solution?

Stream uses highly optimized Cassandra infrastructure to process the feeds. This allows us to charge a comparatively low price. In most cases a solution built in house will cost far more to operate. Stream's cost advantage becomes even larger when you take development and maintenance costs into account.

What defines a feed update?

The number of feed updates depends on how many activities you publish via the API and the number of users which follow those feeds.

Concurrent realtime connections?

Stream allows you to listen to feed changes in realtime. This limit specifies the number of clients which can listen at the same time.

Experienced at scale

The team behind Stream has authored the popular open source Stream-Framework and managed activity streams at successful startups. Stream scales well and allows you to retrieve your feed quickly whether you have 3 or 3 million users.

Data export

Your data is always yours. If you want to export it from Stream we’ll write a backup to an S3 bucket of your choosing. Our open source Stream-Framework also gives you a good starting point for building your own solution.

Redundancy?

Stream runs on a Cassandra cluster with built-in replication. It stores your data in at least 3 places, which makes it unlikely to get lost.

Pricing example?

Assume that your social app has 50.000 users. These users add 60.000 activities per month and are on average followed by 50 people. This would lead to approximately 3 million feed updates per month (60.000 * 50). Note that the actual usage will vary heavily based on your user’s activity and how connected your network is.

Supported languages?

Stream currently has clients available for Ruby, Python, Node and PHP. Java and ObjectiveC clients are next on our roadmap. Furthermore we offer integrations for Rails, Django, Laravel & Parse Cloud. Let us know if client support for your language is missing!
