  title: Prisma Pulse API
  description: >-
    API for Prisma Pulse, a managed Change Data Capture (CDC) service that
    enables real-time database change events and type-safe subscriptions via
    Prisma Client. Pulse captures PostgreSQL logical replication events and
    delivers them through stream() and subscribe() methods. The stream() API
    provides at-least-once delivery with ordering guarantees and resumability,
    while subscribe() provides at-most-once delivery for simpler use cases.
    Events include create, update, and delete operations with full or partial
    record data depending on PostgreSQL REPLICA IDENTITY configuration.

      summary: Prisma Create a named event stream
      description: >-
        Creates a new named event stream for a specific database model. Named
        streams are resumable, meaning that if the consumer disconnects and
        reconnects with the same stream name, it will resume from where it
        left off. Requires event persistence to be enabled on the environment.
        The stream() API provides at-least-once delivery with correct ordering
        guarantees.

      description: >-
        Opens a long-lived connection to receive events from a named stream.
        Events are delivered in order with at-least-once delivery guarantees
        when event persistence is enabled. The connection uses server-sent
        events (SSE) for real-time delivery. If the stream was previously
        consumed and has a saved cursor position, events resume from that
        position.
