How do you store a stream? Don’t they just spray around the internet here and there, and if you don’t catch them in the moment, they’re just gone?

(Founder) I thought you were joking but coming back it could well be serious :)

When we say stream, we really mean The Log that Jay Kreps has a famous blog about https://engineering.linkedin.com/distributed-systems/log-wha...

We say stream because we would rather not be confused with "logs" as in application logs, but rather associate with the world of streaming data where this primitive is very relevant. We don't mean stream as in a TCP stream or live stream.

You can, however stream Star Wars on S2 ;-) https://s2.dev/docs/quickstart#get-started-with-the-cli
