StreamNative Launches Pulsar-as-a-Service on AWS

StreamNative, Inc., a cloud-native, real-time data platform powered by Apache Pulsar, announced its fully managed Pulsar-as-a-Service offering, StreamNative cloud, is available on AWS.

It provides a scalable, resilient, and secure messaging and event streaming platform for enterprises. The company offers both cloud-hosted and cloud-managed options to help organizations accelerate application development and improve time-to-market, details below:

• Cloud-Hosted provides the ability to spin up a StreamNative-hosted Pulsar cluster on a cloud provider of your choice within minutes.
• Cloud-Managed offers a managed Pulsar cluster deployable to a public or private cloud environment, customized to meet user needs.

StreamNative cloud has witnessed rapid adoption since its initial release, with customers utilizing it to power applications for a set of use cases, such as order and delivery tracking, customer communication, and powering real-time data lakes.

The expansion of StreamNative cloud hosted to AWS will make the offering available to more users and enable AWS cloud customers to more deeply integrate Pulsar with the broader AWS offerings.

StreamNative Cloud on AWS:  Pulsar + Flink
The launch on AWS provides another cloud option for customers, and also also enables customers to integrate Pulsar with AWS-managed offerings, such as Kinesis Data Analytics for Flink and Flink on Amazon EMR.

Leveraging Flink and Pulsar together, companies are able to create an unified data architecture for real-time data-driven businesses. Flink unifies batch and stream processing into a single computing engine with streams as the unified data representation. Pulsar, together with BookKeeper, allows organizations to store data as one copy, or source-of-truth that can be accessed in streams, via pub-sub interfaces, and segments, for batch processing. With StreamNative cloud available on AWS, customers will be able to integrate Pulsar with AWS’s managed-Flink offering.

New features coming soon in StreamNative Cloud:

• Tiered storage allows users to offload data to external storage, enabling infinite stream retention that readily scales with the volume of data and without any change to APIs or performance.
• Pulsar Functions bring serverless computation to event streaming by providing an interface. It allows users to transform, filter, and route data with user-provided code that runs inside your Pulsar cluster.

Why StreamNative Cloud ?
It is built and operated by the original developers of Apache Pulsar and Apache BookKeeper. The team has experience operating Pulsar in large scale production environments, including at both Twitter and Yahoo!.

The StreamNative team plays an active role in Pulsar’s roadmap and community. Organizations choose StreamNative cloud for its powerful platform, and also for the team’s operational experience on Pulsar.
