Version: Streamsheets 2.3

Introduction

The three main components of the Streamsheet platform are: Eclipse Streamsheets, Apps and Streams. Streamsheets consume, process and produce data streams. In Excel, one or several sheets always form part of a Workbook. In a similar way, Streamsheets run in Apps and one App accommodates up to four sheets. Hence strictly speaking, the App consumes, processes, and produces data streams, and the Streamsheets contained in the App define how this happens exactly. Streams define the endpoints where messages are coming from and where they are sent to, hence data sources and data sinks. These endpoints can be e.g. MQTT and Kafka topics as well as OPC UA nodes, REST APIs, database collections or local directories.

StMFlow

Apps consume and produce streams. In the App`s Streamsheets the data flow logic is defined via functions.
