stream-chain is a modular and highly optimized Node.js library for chaining together streams into complex data processing pipelines. It excels at handling large datasets efficiently by streaming data through a sequence of transformations defined by various stream modules. This package simplifies creating intricate workflows like parsing, transforming, and filtering data from input streams, offering a flexible alternative to traditional data processing for improved performance and resource utilization. It's useful for scenarios where you need to create a data pipeline that needs to process data in stream.
The stream-chain npm package had frequent releases in 2018, particularly in May and June. Release frequency then dropped significantly, with sporadic releases until 2020. There were no releases in 2021 and 2023. In 2024, the package experienced a small resurgence and in 2025 only one upgrade released in January. Since then, there have been no releases through September 2025.
Stream-chain's npm package downloads show a strong upward trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking at 11.6 million. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower (4.7 million), but this is likely due to the month being incomplete as of today, September 13, 2025.
