## What it is
Stream Framework is a Python library for building scalable activity streams, news feeds, and notification systems on top of Cassandra and/or Redis. It handles feed storage, fan-out, and caching structures so applications can implement Twitter-, Instagram-, or Facebook-style feeds.

## Use cases
- build a twitter-style newsfeed in python
- implement an activity stream like github's
- create a notification system backed by redis
- build an instagram or pinterest style feed
- store and fan out user activity feeds with cassandra
- add a social feed to a django or python web app

## When to choose
- you need self-hosted feed infrastructure using Cassandra or Redis
- you want a proven fan-out architecture for newsfeeds in Python
- you need activity streams or notification feeds without paying for a hosted feed API

## When to avoid
- you prefer a managed REST API for feeds (consider the authors' hosted Stream service)
- your stack is not Python
- you need chat, video, or moderation features - this library only covers feeds
- you want a small-scale feed that a simple database query could handle

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching, database-driver
- domain: backend, web-development, databases, social-media
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: activity-streams, news-feed, cassandra, redis, feed-aggregation, notifications
