Streamdal Quick Start

We're updating our documentation, so the presented info might not be the most recent.

There are just two steps to get Streamdal up and running.

First, you’ll need to install the Streamdal Server and Console UI. Then, you’ll need to instrument your code using one of the Streamdal SDKs.

Step 1: Install Streamdal Server and Console

The quickest way to deploy Streamdal is using the provided script via curl. This script installs our docker-compose.

Note: ensure the Docker daemon is up before running this script.

curl -s https://sh.streamdal.com | bash

Run the docker ps command to view the status of the deployment. A successful deploy should give a reading similar to this:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                            NAMES
ed6f02a60db1   streamdal/console:v0.1.26   "/tini -- docker-ent…"   1 day ago   Up 10 minutes   0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp                           streamdal-console

750468b0c1bc   redis:latest                "docker-entrypoint.s…"   1 day ago   Up 10 minutes   0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp                           streamdal-redis

Once everything is up you should be able to access the console at http://localhost:8080

Step 2: Instrument Your Code

With the server and console up and running, it’s time to instrument Streamdal into your code using one of our SDKs. Check out the various languages under SDKs here in the docs to find the right one for your project, or learn how to add Streamdal to it.

Want to just kick the tires? Use the demo client:

docker run \
  --name billing-service-stripe-register \
  --label app=billing-service-stripe-register \
  streamdal/demo-client:2249e0f \
  -d \
  --message-rate=10,20 \
  --service-name=billing-service \
  --server-address=localhost:8082 \
  --operation-type=2 \
  --operation-name=stripe-register \
  --component-name=stripe \
  --data-source-type=file \
  --data-source-file=/assets/sample-billing-producer.json

Step 3: Explore the Console

Once an SDK is connected to your server you should be able to see the data flowing in the Console UI.
