Read the Documentation.

Overview

Streamtasks aims to simplify software integration for data pipelines.

How it works

Streamtasks is built on an internal network that distributes messages. The network is host agnostic. It uses the same network to communicate with services running in the same process as it does to communicate with services on a remote machine.

Getting started

Installation

pip install streamtasks[media] # see pyproject.toml for more optional packages

Running an instance

You can run an instance of the streamtasks system with streamtasks -C or python -m streamtasks -C.

The flag -C indicates that the core components should be started as well.

Use streamtasks --help for more options.

Connecting two instances

When connecting two instances you need to have one main instance running the core components (using -C).

To create a connection endpoint (server), you can use the Connection Manager in the UI or you can specify a url to host a server on as a command line flag.

For example:

streamtasks -C --serve tcp://127.0.0.1:9002

You may specify multiple serve urls.

To connect the second system to the main system, you need to start your second system without the core components, specifying a connect url.

For example:

streamtasks --connect tcp://127.0.0.1:9002

See connection for more information.
