Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.
With Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, there are no servers to manage. The on-demand mode eliminates the need to provision or manage capacity required for running applications.
Automatic provisioning and scaling
Adjust your capacity to stream gigabytes per second of data with Kinesis Data Streams. Get automatic provisioning and scaling with the on-demand mode.
Don't worry about over-provisioning
Pay only for what you use with Kinesis Data Streams, starting as low as $0.015 per hour. With the on-demand mode, you don't need to worry about over-provisioning.
Built-in integrations
Use built-in integrations with other AWS services to create analytics, serverless, and application integration solutions on AWS quickly.
Use cases
Stream log and event data
Ingest and collect terabytes of data per day from application and service logs, clickstream data, sensor data, and in-app user events to power live dashboards, generate metrics, and deliver data into data lakes.
Run real-time analytics
Build applications for high-frequency event data such as clickstream data, and gain access to insights in seconds, not days, using AWS Lambda or Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Power event-driven applications
Quickly pair with AWS Lambda to respond to or adjust immediate occurrences within the event-driven applications in your environment, at any scale.
