What are Preview Adapters?
A preview adapter is an adapter that is available for early prototyping by users for functional testing of their use cases. Preview adapters have a subset of functionality of generally available adapters, and should not be used for production or business-critical workloads, or for performance testing and benchmarking. Striim may choose to make the preview connectors generally available at a future point in time. Striim does not offer guarantees that the generally available version of a preview adapter will retain the functionality, performance or architecture of the preview connector.
Why Preview Adapters?
These adapters facilitate trying out Striim’s upcoming adapters (with initially restricted functionality) to test basic scenarios before using the subsequent GA versions of these adapters for production usage.
Where can I try the Preview adapters?
We have made Preview adapters available using the Striim Developer Edition so that developers and data engineers can try these out quickly in their sandbox environments. Explore our Preview Adapters by signing up for free on Striim’s Developer Edition with 14-day trial for each adapter.
