- [Competitive comparison](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/competitive-comparison.md)
- [Binary SSE](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/binary-sse.md): Learn how Snakream encodes binary payloads so they can be delivered over Server-Sent Events.
- [Bootstrap](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/bootstrap.md): Learn how the bootstrap endpoint returns snapshots and post-snapshot updates in a single response.
- [Buckets](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/buckets.md): Learn how Snakream uses buckets to organize related streams into namespaces.

- [Exactly-Once Writes](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/exactly-once-writes.md): See how producer identifiers, epochs, and sequence numbers provide deduplicated appends.
- [Len-Prefixed Framing](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/len-prefixed-framing.md): Use Snakream's simple framing format to delimit binary messages inside raw byte streams.
- [Offsets](https://docs.snakream.tonbo.dev/concepts/offsets.md): Understand how offsets let clients start reads, resume progress, and follow stream position safely.
