 # Set up a data stream [set-up-a-data-stream]
 
+The process of setting up a data stream in {{stack}} and {{serverless-full}} is similar, making use of their respective APIs. However, because {{serverless-short}} provides a built-in [data stream lifecycle](/manage-data/lifecycle/data-stream.md) mechanism and retention settings, you don't need to configure index lifecycle management ({{ilm-init}}) options as you do in an {{stack}} deployment.

+{{ilm-init}} lets you automatically transition indices through data tiers according to your performance needs and retention requirements.

 If you’re unsure how to map your fields, use [runtime fields](../mapping/define-runtime-fields-in-search-request.md) to extract fields from [unstructured content](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/keyword.md#mapping-unstructured-content) at search time.
