Stroom – a scalable data storage, processing and analysis platform

I would suggest trying to get this associated with a community-driven open source foundation like Apache. I think you will struggle to convince developers or enterprises to use a data storage + analytics platform developed and maintained by GCHQ.

"Stroom" is a Dutch word meaning either (electrical) "power" or, more likely in this case, "flow".

Does it meaningfully deal with binary data, that is can extract then encode, decide them, handle parts with corrupted data, do analysis on them etc? What about images and other large 2d data?

Looks like GCHQ didn’t want to pay for Splunk licenses

The marketing isn't very clear. Does this compete with Prometheus? Nagios?

What ecosystem does this work with best?

Well this looks promising.

No funny business, we promise.<p><i>NSA</i>: <i>snickers</i><p>I think there&#x27;s space for a person, a company or a tool to certify all the scripts we run by passing the results of a curl directly into a shell. Wonder if there&#x27;s any money in it.
