Selected Use Cases
Being a universal HTTP data relay, many things can be done with ZebraStream. Here is a list of selected applications. Feel free to share your own recipes with us and the community!
API-less Data Integration
Watch an HTTP endpoint for incoming data and process the data where you need it, for instance on your data processing platform, or right in the database.
Direct CSV Downloads
Generate and stream data on demand when somebody opens a protected download link, instead of managing temporary files.
P2P Multimedia
Capture video or audio content or make a screencast on one side of the world and play it instantly in a web browser on the other side, without requiring additional software.
Fetch Data Instantly
Get fresh data every morning at 8 a.m. when it is provisioned. All IT systems are shielded against external threats.
Share Large Files Securely
Share files of any size using protected one-time download links and strong data encryption.
Proxy Message Brokers
Produce data to an internal topic or consume data from an internal topic while keeping the system completely isolated from the outside world.
Share Continuous Data
Create a protected share link for endless time series data produced by a sensor. Use plain HTTPS to integrate the data link on both sides.
Distribute Shell Scripts
Use ZebraStream as a drop-in replacement for UNIX named pipes and stream text or binary data. Connect shell scripts across multiple distributed systems using builtin command line tools like curl.
Data Upgrade for Communication
Traditional communication systems like message brokers or chat systems have size and bandwidth restrictions. Lift those restrictions by creating side channels to transfer data of any size instantly between clients.
Remote Backup
Let the backup software run anywhere close to the storage, for instance on an embedded device behind a firewall. It can either listen for incoming data to archive, or pull the data actively.
