SunStream
Your data, your storage, delivered by end of the week.
SunStream is a bespoke data extraction and delivery service. Tell us what data you need and where it should land — we build the pipeline and ship clean, structured output within days. No infrastructure to manage, no team to hire, no months of scoping. Just data, on time.
What SunStream actually does
SunStream builds custom pipelines that pull data from any source you name — an API, a web platform, an on-chain protocol, a market data feed — and delivers it to a destination you control. You describe the job. We handle the extraction, the transformation, and the delivery.
Who this is for
If you need data and don't want to build the infrastructure to get it, you're in the right place.
Startups
No data team? No problem. Get the signal you need this month, not next quarter.
Researchers
Clean, structured data ready for your models — no parsing, no scraping, no headaches.
Quant traders
Order books, on-chain logs, prediction markets — extracted and delivered, fast.
One-time jobs
Need a snapshot, not a subscription? We take on short engagements too.
How it works
Most pipelines ship within five to seven business days of the first conversation. Complex sources take longer — we'll tell you upfront, before any commitment is made. No engagement starts without a clear scope and a fixed price. If we can't deliver what you need, we say so before you pay anything.
Can't reach your data through an API?
PDFs, scanned documents, inconsistent web pages, transcripts, forum threads — if it's readable, it's extractable. SunStream uses LLM-augmented extraction wherever conventional parsers fail, so the output is just as structured as if it had come from a clean API.
Technical profile
SunStream pipelines run on a modular Java ETL core with abstract source and destination connectors. The scheduling layer handles asynchronous task execution with configurable throughput controls, and pipelines can run on-demand or on a schedule.
Output formats include structured JSON, CSV, and direct database writes. Source types include REST APIs, WebSocket feeds, on-chain RPC endpoints, HTML scraping targets, custom binary protocols where documentation is available, and unstructured text sources handled via LLM-augmented extraction (PDFs, scanned documents, transcripts, image content, freeform web pages). Destination types include relational databases (Postgres, MySQL), object storage (S3-compatible), flat files, and HTTP endpoints.
This isn't enterprise-grade in the five-nines-SLA sense. It's pragmatic, fast to deploy, and reliably produces clean output. If your use case needs carrier-grade reliability guarantees, this probably isn't the right fit — and we'll tell you that upfront.
FAQ
Is SunStream a subscription, or a one-off service?
Neither, by default — it's per-engagement. You pay for the pipeline you need, when you need it. If you want the same feed delivered on an ongoing schedule, that's possible too; we just price it as a standing engagement rather than a platform subscription.
What happens if the source changes or breaks after delivery?
Sources drift — APIs get deprecated, page layouts change, rate limits tighten. Maintenance isn't bundled into the initial price by default, but most clients add a lightweight monitoring retainer once the pipeline is live. We'll flag this risk upfront if your source is the brittle kind.
What's the smallest job worth bringing to you?
If it would take you more than a day to scrape, parse, or wire up yourself, it's probably worth a conversation. We've shipped one-time snapshots as well as recurring multi-source feeds — the engagement size scales to the job, not the other way around.
Can you work with messy or non-standard sources?
That's most of what SunStream is for. PDFs, scanned documents, inconsistent web layouts, forum threads, and other sources without a clean API are handled through LLM-augmented extraction — the output is still structured, even when the input isn't.
Do I need to give you direct access to my systems?
Only to whatever's required for the specific job — a destination database, an API key, a storage bucket. Scope is agreed before any access changes hands, and we're happy to work within read-only or sandboxed credentials where that's an option.
Pricing
Per-engagement, no seats, no platform fees. Cost reflects source complexity, volume, and turnaround time.
