+Percona Binary Log Server (`binlog_server`) connects to a remote Oracle MySQL or Percona Server instance as a replication client and streams binary log events to a local directory or to S3-compatible object storage such as MinIO, reconnecting automatically and resuming from where it left off. Its `pull` mode also runs a MySQL-compatible listener, so `mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server` and position-based replicas can read events back from it — useful as a durable binlog archive or as an intermediary between a primary and its replicas.
+
+Besides continuous streaming, it offers `list`, `search_by_timestamp`, and `search_by_gtid_set` commands to inspect stored binlogs, and `purge_binlogs` to delete old ones. GTID-mode storage and checkpoint-based encryption are supported, though GTID-based replicas (`SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION=1`) aren't yet. It's written in C++23, maintained under Percona Lab — Percona's incubator for experimental and community tools — and released under GPLv2.
