Why Stateful Integration?

Most integration tools focus on moving data from A to B. surveilr takes a different approach: stateful integration that maintains history and context.

Stateless vs Stateful

Stateless Integration - Data flows through - No history maintained - Simple but limited

Stateful Integration - Every change recorded - Full audit trail - Complete context

Benefits of Statefulness

Compliance Regulatory requirements often demand complete history.

Debugging When something goes wrong, trace back to the source.

Analytics Historical data enables trend analysis and predictions.

Recovery Roll back to any previous state if needed.

surveilr's Implementation

Immutable Log All changes are appended, never deleted.

Point-in-Time Queries Query data as it existed at any moment.

Change Detection Automatically identify what changed and when.

Non-Technical Access

SQL interface means anyone can query the integration state without developer assistance.
