This page describes how stream engagements are structured when you hire CoreStream Consulting for event processing work.
Discovery engagement
A discovery engagement inventories existing producers, topics, and consumers. We produce a short architecture memo listing recommended topic boundaries, keying strategy, and observability gaps. Typical duration is one to three working sessions.
Build engagement
Build engagements ship runnable stream logic—Flink jobs, Kafka Streams services, or equivalent—with tests and deployment notes. Scope lists repositories touched, environments supported, and what remains your team’s responsibility after handoff.
Stabilization engagement
Stabilization focuses on clusters that already serve traffic. We trace poison messages, skewed partitions, and state backend issues, then pair with your engineers on fixes and runbook updates.
Who this is for
Teams building operational analytics, fraud checks, inventory sync, or IoT ingestion pipelines benefit when event contracts are unclear or lag spikes are unexplained.
Who this is not for
We are not a 24/7 managed operations provider and do not take over your cloud billing accounts. If you need always-on NOC coverage, we can help you define requirements but will not impersonate your internal ops team.
