Streams
Streams is planned as a replayable event log: topics, partitions, offsets, and consumer groups. Independent applications could read the same topic at their own pace. It is not available yet.
For work items today, use Queue. For fan-out notifications, use Events.
Status: Preview stub — not available yet.
Intended contract
- Producers append records to logical topic names.
- Records are ordered within a partition, not across partitions.
- Consumer groups track offsets so independent applications can replay the same topic.
- Queue remains the service for visibility timeouts, long polling, receipt handles, and dead-letter work.
What you can use today
No streams API is available today. Use Queue for work items.
