Thankful to the @s2.dev team for all the progress we made this year! Really excited for 2026. Some highlights 🧵

S2 is now SOC 2 Type II compliant! We are committed to continuously improving our security posture.

We are at SyncConf SF! Find us or DM if you wanna chat streams (or logs if you prefer!)

@s2.dev YC-launched today! www.ycombinator.com/launches/OnP...

👀 "This is the home of s2-lite — an open source, self-hostable implementation of the S2 API for durable streams. It will be backed by SlateDB, and it is currently in development."

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

a lil demo of serverless infra observability using S2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsFi...

S2's REST API now supports long polling, besides SSE! Long polling is a simple way for client-driven consumption with stateless HTTP requests. You just need to specify the ?wait=<seconds> query parameter. If no records are available, the response will only return after the duration elapses.

We open sourced a read-through cache for S3, called Cachey github.com/s2-streamsto...

OpenTelemetry 🤝 @s2.dev Are you building infrastructure for sandbox environments (e.g., agent sandbox, CI/CD sandbox) and want to stream execution logs to users in real time? If so, check out s2.dev/docs/integra... and let us know what you think.

Added some visibility into usage metrics to the @s2.dev dashboard!

s2.dev got a refresh ✨

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!

Can you build a realtime BBS on s2? Yes, in fact... s2.dev/playground

Agents need granular streams. And yes, @s2.dev fits the bill nicely! s2.dev/blog/agent-s...

Super cool XTDB plugin from @chuck.cassel.dev, which implements the write-ahead log using @s2.dev streams: github.com/chucklehead-...

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!

Had a lot of fun with this 😄 – a multiplayer, "instant re-playable" pseudoterminal that uses @s2.dev streams as a transport instead of SSH: s2.dev/blog/s2-term

You can now safely share @s2.dev streams directly with end clients like browsers, apps, or agents! No proxying required. Check it out, s2.dev/blog/access-...

@s2.dev now has an MCP server! The entire API is available for tool-use by AI assistants like Claude -- see it in action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLFk...

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 now supports timestamps! 🕰️ How we made streams understand time: s2.dev/blog/timesta...

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

A next gen serverless movement is emerging: Serverless as a core attribute of infra components (compute, dbs, queues, workflows) The key tenets survive (cost, scale, perf, managed infra) but now serverless is embedded in the tools available, rather than being the tool itself. Here’s some examples…

Thanks for the tag HN bot! Domains as handles are such a cool @bsky.app feature

Create streams on the fly with ease. Just turn on this setting for your basin. @s2.dev

The S2 CLI makes it super easy to manage basins and streams - but now you can also do a lot from within the dashboard! @s2.dev

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 www.hytradboi.com/2025/f2cc03c...

Bytewax connector for @s2.dev is out now! bytewax.io/blog/s2-conn...

A walkthrough of the CLI that will give you a good sense of S2 overall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-31...

Talk 24: "Serverless primitives for the shared log architecture" by Stephen Balogh (@sbalogh.bsky.social)

We're also releasing an alpha version of a Flink connector for S2 streams: github.com/s2-streamsto... See the demos for an example real-time feature pipeline for turning beacons (stored on S2) into complex events, and ultimately a dynamic table of ML features stored upsert-style on an S2 stream.

S2 now has an official Java SDK! github.com/s2-streamsto...

Really excited to announce @s2.dev components for Bento 🎉 You can now integrate S2 streams as inputs and outputs in your pipelines. Get started: s2.dev/docs/integra...

You can easily power your next IoT project's data streaming pipeline with S2, and I wrote a blogpost showing exactly how you can do it! s2.dev/blog/iot

Love how @s2.dev guides you through reproducing ASCII Star Wars in your terminal. It's a fun, clear and engaging quickstart example. Well played.

You can now use @s2.dev with Python! API Reference: streamstore.readthedocs.io GitHub Repo: github.com/s2-streamsto...

Hey Gophers! Got some great news for you. @s2.dev now has an official SDK for Go 🎉 Checkout the repo at github.com/s2-streamsto...

Wrote a post exploring how replicated databases can be built on top of an @s2.dev stream by using it as a write-ahead log (also shows off the official S2 rust sdk!) s2.dev/blog/kv-store

This looks very cool: S2: Streams as a cloud storage primitive

Hello Infra Bluesky! We are previewing S2 for users now s2.dev
