How Our Technology Works | Stornamics

Architecture overview

Replication architecture for data you operate anywhere

Stornamics is built as a replication spine for product routes: capture workload changes, keep the history needed for replay and recovery, and move data through node-aware routes across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid sites.

Product events flowing through a Stornamics replication spine into cloud, on-premise, and hybrid node-aware routes
01Capture product events

Object writes, broker records, and telemetry signals enter their owning route.

02Preserve replay history

Retained changes keep recovery, diagnostics, and inspection grounded in what happened.

03Place node-aware routes

Cloud, on-premise, and hybrid nodes receive the data paths they are meant to operate.

04Operate with route context

Identity, status, limits, and diagnostics stay attached to each product path.

Replication engine

Capture changes as movement events

Object, stream, and telemetry changes enter product-owned routes built for distributed environments.

Event history

Preserve what changed for replay

Retained records, stream cursors, and segment bundles give teams something concrete to replay, recover, and inspect.

Node awareness

Place routes across real sites

Sites, zones, identity, diagnostics, and limits describe which nodes participate and how each route is operated.

Replication turns workload history into placement

A route starts with product events, carries the history needed for replay or recovery, and places data across nodes, sites, and zones with operational controls attached.

  1. 01

    Capture workload changes

    Objects, stream records, queue activity, and telemetry signals enter the route through the product that owns them.

  2. 02

    Preserve history for replay and recovery

    Retained events, cursors, WAL records, and segment bundles keep movement inspectable instead of hiding it inside opaque sync jobs.

  3. 03

    Place replicas where nodes operate

    Sites and zones connect product routes to cloud, on-premise, and hybrid nodes with identity, diagnostics, and status nearby.

What each product route proves today

These proof points make the replication architecture concrete without stretching private beta into a production promise. Each card names the route, the history it keeps, and the boundary that keeps evaluation scoped.

Object route

Scoped S3 Core object workflows

ObjectDB

ObjectDB's public proof point is the scoped S3 Core gateway: bucket and object workflows with documented compatibility, request limits, and explicit unsupported-surface behavior.

  • Buckets and objects cover discovery, create, read, list, delete, range-read, multipart-upload, tag, metadata, delegated-URL, and browser POST workflows inside the named profile.
  • Advanced S3 families, AWS IAM equivalence, and the native ObjectDB model stay outside this current route until docs and status move them forward.

Event route

Streams, queues, cursors, and replay

Message Broker

Message Broker's proof point is a private-beta route family for streams, records, cursors, replay, shared queues, auth, metrics, audit, and diagnostics.

  • Streams can be created, records published and fetched, replayed, and coordinated with cursor and consumer-group operations.
  • Shared queue flows include claim, lease renewal, ack, nack, retry, and dead-letter handling while replication outcomes and Kafka compatibility stay bounded.

Telemetry route

OTLP ingest, query, WAL, and segments

LogDB

LogDB's proof point is telemetry admission and retained-record query through endpoint JSON, OTLP logs and traces, local WAL, and segment bundles.

  • HTTP/protobuf, JSON compatibility, optional configured gRPC ingest, and POST /v1/query give evaluators a concrete read/write path for logs and traces.
  • S3 query-read, BYOC, public replay APIs, external sinks, metrics, profiles, dashboards, and SIEM positioning remain separately bounded.

Status and limits stay close to every route

Availability, compatibility, and limits are part of the architecture story. Use them together before turning a current route into an evaluation plan.

Replication Engine

Stornamics is built around a replication engine that turns workload changes into product-owned movement events. Object updates, stream records, queue activity, and telemetry writes can move across the places a team operates while preserving the history needed for replay, recovery, and inspection.

  • Asynchronous movement lets work continue while data is synchronized between approved cloud, on-premise, and hybrid locations.
  • Event history records what changed so replay, retained records, recovery review, and diagnostics have concrete material to inspect.
  • Durability, recovery, performance, and scale details stay connected to the product route and its documented limits.

This is the architecture spine: product engines own data movement, and the surrounding controls make each route visible.

Anywhere-to-anywhere replication flow across approved environments

Product Engines on the Same Replication Spine

ObjectDB, Message Broker, and LogDB share the same placement and operations model, but each implements a different technical surface. That gives teams one architecture for distributed data movement without pretending every workload belongs in the same engine.

  • ObjectDB handles S3 Core bucket and object workflows near cloud, on-premise, or hybrid workloads.
  • Message Broker handles streams, queues, cursors, replay, auth, audit, metrics, and diagnostics for event-driven systems.
  • LogDB handles OTLP ingest, local query, WAL-backed records, and segment bundles for operations data that needs to land where systems run.

The result is more concrete than a platform promise: each product engine owns how its data is captured, retained, moved, and observed.

Current Stornamics launch product surfaces

Node-Aware Sites and Zones

A site or zone is not just a label on a diagram. It describes where nodes run, which environments participate, and how data-placement choices relate to retention, privacy, latency, analytics access, and recovery planning.

  • Represent cloud regions, on-premise facilities, hybrid environments, and local evaluation nodes in one topology model.
  • Separate operational copies, analytics copies, retention windows, and locality needs with visibility into product limits.
  • Compare latency, locality, retention, privacy, and recovery tradeoffs before teams commit to a deployment shape.

The topology model makes placement an architectural control, not an after-the-fact migration project.

Control Plane for Configuration, Identity, and Observability

The replication spine needs a control plane. Stornamics treats service configuration, identity, diagnostics, auditability, and support artifacts as part of how customers operate distributed product routes.

  • Nodes and services receive product-scoped configuration and identity boundaries.
  • Audit, metrics, diagnostics, and support bundles stay attached to the route that generated them.
  • Security and privacy controls are documented alongside tenancy and data-handling behavior.

Operators can see which route is running where, what controls apply, and which diagnostics or status signals to inspect.
