Architecture
StreamCore is built on a modern, distributed architecture designed for scale, reliability, and performance. Learn how the components work together.
System Overview
StreamCore's architecture consists of interconnected components that work together to provide reliable event streaming and processing at scale.
- ◆ Distributed: All components can be scaled horizontally
- ◆ Fault-tolerant: Automatic recovery from failures
- ◆ Observable: Complete visibility into system behavior
- ◆ Secure: End-to-end encryption and access control
Core Components
Message Brokers
Distributed brokers handle event storage, replication, and distribution
Cluster Coordination
Centralized coordination for cluster state and partition management
Client Libraries
Producer and consumer APIs for integrating with your applications
Processing Engines
Stream processing runtime for real-time computations
Monitoring & Metrics
Comprehensive observability and metrics collection
Security & Access Control
Authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout
Design Principles
Scalability
Horizontal scaling of all components for infinite growth
Reliability
Fault tolerance with replication and automatic recovery
Performance
Sub-millisecond latency and high throughput
Simplicity
Clean abstractions and intuitive APIs
Network Topology
StreamCore uses a distributed network topology where all nodes communicate directly. Services are discovered dynamically, and the cluster automatically adapts to node failures.
- → Peer-to-peer communication between brokers
- → Centralized metadata management
- → Automatic service discovery
- → Multi-datacenter support
Data Flow
Ingestion
Events enter the system through producers. StreamCore receives, validates, and assigns them to partitions based on keys or partitioning strategy.
Storage
Events are written to partition leaders, then replicated to follower brokers. Data is persisted to disk for durability and recovery.
Processing
Consumers and stream processors read events from partitions and apply business logic. Processing can be stateless or maintain state.
Delivery
Results are written to output topics or external systems. StreamCore guarantees delivery semantics configured by the application.
Deployment Options
On-Premises
Deploy StreamCore in your own data centers with full control over infrastructure and configuration.
Cloud
Deploy to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure with native integration and managed services.
Hybrid
Combine on-premises and cloud deployments for flexibility and cost optimization.
