A Deep Dive into Striim: Streaming Integration and Intelligence

Summary: I focus on covering high-level overview of Striim. Organizations considering its implementation should look into detailed technical documentation and perhaps consult with a Striim specialist for specifics related to their use case. Planning to expand on this subject matter, coming from advanced real-time streaming, telecomm’s widely known and studied industry problem; channeling wildly old and mostly solved billing mediation concept (now more widely known as AFFINITY), with Portal and Metasolv.

Looking for more of this? Like to review embedded affinity models like mentioned above, coming from telecomm’s billing mediation times to blockchain? I have several more articles, so far 2, at this time, with important details as for its reliability, availability and scalability features.
