# What is StreamOps ### Have a look around Have a look around our documentation. We are in very early alpha stage of launching StreamOps. A lot of the functionality is not yet fully documented. However, everything you can do in the opensource version is documented below. If you have any questions please send an email to **** or jump into our slack channel **octalcommunity.slack.com** ### **Try it out** Octal's StreamOps is simple to get up and running. All you need is docker installed on your local machine. Once that is done you'll be able to either use our test clusters, or point StreamOps to your own streaming data sources to get even more insight into how powerful our tool can be. For more information on how to do this proceed to the [Quickstart guide.](/docs/quickstart/install-and-run-streamops-standalone-image.md) ### Current Release Status Currently we have our [open source tool ](https://github.com/octaldata/streamops)out for full use. This version allows unlimited brokers and full [administration and management functionality](/docs/administration-and-management/topic-administration.md). The paid versions are still under development but quite a bit of features have been completed. If you would like to join our private alpha please send email to **** ## --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
