Overview - Streaming Analytics Service in Bluemix

Provides the capabilities of Streams in the Bluemix Cloud– Deploy any Streams application to run in the cloud

– The service has been generally available since October 2015

Users can create their Streams instance in seconds from the bluemix.net

web portal.– Streams instances can be used:

• interactively through the Streams web console or

• programmatically via the Streaming Analytics REST API

– Instances are created initially with two dedicated application nodes, but users can

dynamically resize their instance

– Streams instances in Bluemix are highly available

Streams apps must be developed locally before deploying (.sab file) to the

cloud

What’s New in 4.2?

Streaming Analytics uses a continuous release model where new features

are made available throughout the year.

Target for Streams 4.2 availability in Bluemix is October 19th.– Streams Application Bundles (.sabs) compiled in a new Streams 4.2 environment will not

work with the cloud service until after the October 19 update.

– Streams Application Bundles (.sabs) compiled on earlier versions of Streams 4.x will still

be compatible with the 4.2 cloud service after the update.
