      operationId: createStream
      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.

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.
