The S2 CLI makes it super easy to manage basins and streams - but now you can also do a lot from within the dashboard!

just tried out the real-time TodoMVC example with @livestore.dev + @s2.dev as the durable sync provider, and honestly its crazy how fast it is!
local SQLite, works offline, real-time updates and no complex setup, just works

After a bout of hallucination, I had GPT5 generate some backronyms for itself:

Our Star Wars quickstart got good feedback, and now you can view the stream from the dashboard too 🫣
This comes in real handy for live debugging and observability — especially in systems built around agentic workflows, microservices, or event sourcing using @s2.dev

@s2.dev can now automatically delete streams where all records have fallen out of retention or it was never written to, based on a configurable time threshold.
The option is called "delete-on-empty" and you can set it up on the default stream configuration for your basin from the dashboard or CLI!

Change data capture from Postgres is simple with the right tools. We collaborated with sequinstream.com on an integration so you can use @s2.dev to ship real-time features faster!

Kind words from Chris about S2! I felt strongly that we needed to not hitch our wagon to Kafka. It is not even a priority for us, for now. This may seem like a strange analogy... but if Kafka is OLAP, we want to be OLTP. See this demo to understand what I mean: s2.dev/docs/integra...
New post! I wrote about malaise in the streaming space. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm thinking part of it has to do with Kafka.

A decade of focus on adoption has payed off. Now it's time to innovate.

We were inspired by Vercel's take on resumable streams in the Chat SDK, and thought — what if we took it a step further with S2?
With the @s2-dev/resumable-stream npm package, you can use S2 as the backend for stream resumption in AI chat applications.

S2 is starting to do some really interesting stuff…
What if you could share an S2 stream directly with an end client, no additional proxy middleware to implement? S2 now supports granular scopes on access tokens! I'll share more on it soon.

Adding a familiar tail command to the @s2.dev CLI felt natural!
Some folks have compared Stream Store to a "serverless named pipe." It's an intuitive analogy, and here are some ways S2 is so much more:
- Record-oriented
- Durable on object storage
- Built-in concurrency control

Just watched @sbalogh.bsky.social HYTRADBOI talk and I love the idea behind @s2.dev: using a stream as your database ✨ The simplicity of the API/concepts is going to make it accessible to teams who'd otherwise have to reach for ~kafka to get a similar architecture
