About Stream

Stream is a commercial developer platform from getstream.io that supplies ready-made APIs for common social and communication features. Instead of building messaging or feed infrastructure from scratch, teams integrate Stream's chat, activity feed and video products into their own web and mobile apps.

The platform provides SDKs and pre-built interface components for popular frameworks, plus moderation tools that help keep user-generated content in check. Stream hosts the underlying infrastructure and handles scaling, so developers focus on the product experience. It is aimed at app teams building marketplaces, communities, social products and collaboration tools who want to ship these features faster than they could build them in-house.
