 * Hey,
 * I’d like to store my log data locally, why do I need to have a wordpress.com 
   account, and why do I need to login to your website with it?

 * Hi Sami!
 * 1. Stream is a hosted service and does not support storing log data in MySQL.
   MySQL has major performance limitations when it comes to running complex queries
   on large data sets and is not well-suited for storing logs. Stream is similar
   to services like [New Relic](https://newrelic.com/application-monitoring), but
   for WP Admin logs.
 * 2. We use WP.com SSO (Single Sign-on) because it prevents us from having to store
   login details for any customer and customers don’t have to sign up for yet another
   account somewhere. The process is the same as services that use login with Facebook,
   Twitter or Google.
 * More info on that here: [http://wptavern.com/interview-with-stream-project-lead-frankie-jarrett](http://wptavern.com/interview-with-stream-project-lead-frankie-jarrett)
