Do you want to work with us?
Why streams?
Streams are a fundamental abstraction in Node.js
Some of the main core modules are based on streams: fs, net, http, crypto, zlib!
Streams allow us to deal with arbitrary amounts of data!
from few Kbs (picture upload) to virtually infinite streams of data (sending telemetry through tcp)
Streams allow us to express efficient data pipelines
Load, transform and save data while it flows!
But most importantly... with streams we can do VERY COOL things!
Like building a torrent client!
... that can also stream videos
in real-time!
... or that can allow you to mount torrent files in the filesystem and let you install Ubuntu in real-time! 🤯
... in case you don't believe me
If that's not enough... What about infinite terminal animations?! 🦜
curl parrot.live
OK, I hope you are hyped enough now...
Let's get started!
