Introduction

Welcome to Streamfold!

We are happy to have you here. This is your first step towards unlocking greater control over your telemetry, allowing you to break free from vendor lock-in and maximize the value of your telemetry.

The basics

Streamfold serves as a bridge for telemetry data, linking data sources to destinations and offering tools for filtering, transforming, and enhancing your data.

Here a few core concepts to familarize yourself with before you get started:

Drop function

  • Streams: The foundational component of Streamfold. Streams connect Sources to Destinations and use Functions to transform events.

  • Sources: Sources of your telemetry data. We support a variety of data sources and plan to add more in the future.

  • Destination: Streams delivers your events to Destinations after processing. Destinations send your refined data to other systems outside of Streamfold.

  • Functions: Actions performed on events as they move through a Stream. Our functions library includes a collection of generic functions as well as specialized functions tailored to specific telemetry types.

  • Filters: Filters applied to a Stream will select which events from the Source will be included in the Stream. Filters applied to a Function will select which events will be operated on by the Function. Filters are written using the Streamfold Expression Language.
