Preview sources
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.
Preview adapters are available in Striim Developer only. The terms and conditions of the Striim Developer apply to the usage of these adapters. You can post your feedback about preview adapters in the Striim Community, and Striim may address your feedback on a best-effort basis.
