# Data Stream quickstart

Available in VPC

By using NAVER Cloud Platform's Data Stream service, you can collect, process, and manage real-time data. You can learn about how to use Data Stream in more detail in Getting started with Data Stream and Using Data Stream, but we recommend reading through Data Stream quickstart first. After learning the quickstart and checking how to use them, you will be able to use the Data Stream service more smoothly. The entire usage process and step-by-step descriptions of the Data Stream service are as follows:

[1. Set usage permissions](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#1%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EA%B6%8C%ED%95%9C%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95) [2. Prepare integration service](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#2%EC%97%B0%EB%8F%99%EC%84%9C%EB%B9%84%EC%8A%A4%EC%A4%80%EB%B9%84) [3. Create topic](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#3%ED%86%A0%ED%94%BD%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1) [4. Produce data](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#4%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%ED%84%B0%EC%93%B0%EA%B8%B0Produce) [5. Consume data](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#5%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%ED%84%B0%EC%9D%BD%EA%B8%B0Consume) [6. Set up connector](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#6%EC%BB%A4%EB%84%A5%ED%84%B0%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95) [7. Monitoring and operation](/docs/en/datastream-procedure#7%EB%AA%A8%EB%8B%88%ED%84%B0%EB%A7%81%EB%B0%8F%EC%9A%B4%EC%98%81)

## 1. Set usage permissions

If you need to manage and share the Data Stream service with multiple users, you can set permissions for each user. You can configure the permissions as administrator and user through Sub Account in NAVER Cloud Platform, and roles can be defined for each permission. However, producers who send data to topics must have Sub Account permissions, and when creating and managing connectors, the service role must be set so that the connector can access the data.

              Note

              

Sub Account is a service provided free of charge upon subscription. For more information on Sub Account and its fees, see [**Services > Management & Governance > Sub Account**](https://www.ncloud.com/product/management/subAccount) in NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

You can see the following user guides:

- [Data Stream permissions management](/docs/en/datastream-subaccount-vpc)
- [Sub Account user guides](/docs/en/subaccount-overview)

## 2. Prepare integration service

Apply for NAVER Cloud Platform's Object Storage service to store topic data through a connector and create a bucket. You can see the following user guides:

- [Object Storage Service integration](/docs/en/datastream-integration-vpc)
- [Object Storage user guides](/docs/en/storage-storage-6-1)

## 3. Create topic

Create a topic. You can store and consume data in the topics you create. You can see the following user guides:

- [Subscribe to Data Stream](/docs/en/datastream-start-vpc)
- [Create topic](/docs/en/datastream-topic-vpc#%ED%86%A0%ED%94%BD%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1)

## 4. Set up connector

You can set up an integration connector to store data in an Object Storage bucket on NAVER Cloud Platform and use it in linked external systems. You can see the following user guides:

- [Set up connector](/docs/en/datastream-topic-vpc#%EC%BB%A4%EB%84%A5%ED%84%B0%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95)

## 5. Produce data

Data is stored by sending messages from producers to topics. You can see the following user guides:

- [Producer](/docs/en/datastream-procedure-example-vpc)

## 6. Consume data

Receive data stored in a topic from a consumer. You can see the following user guides:

- [Consumer](/docs/en/datastream-consumer-example-vpc)

## 7. Monitoring and operation

Monitor key indicators in real time, including topics, partitions, consumer groups, and data processing status. You can see the following user guides:

- [Data Stream dashboard](/docs/en/datastream-dashboard-vpc)
- [Check and manage topic information](/docs/en/datastream-topic-vpc)
