# Overview
Flo.w Stream Studio is a complete solution for building real-time stream processing and data ingest solutions.
Stream Studio is based on Node-RED (opens new window) and provides a graphical interface that allows processing pipelines to be built from a palette of nodes using drag and drop.
Stream Studio can be self-hosted or runs in a managed environment on AWS. Typically, separate instances are created for each project or use-case.
