How we built stateless load balancing into a protocol that was never designed for it.| www.warpstream.com
WarpStream is a Kafka compatible data streaming platform built directly on top of S3: no disks to manage, and infinitely scalable, all within your VPC.| www.warpstream.com
In this post, I’ll start off with a brief overview of “shared nothing” vs. “shared storage” architectures in general. This discussion will be a bit abstract and high-level, but the goal is to share with you some of the guiding philosophy that ultimately led to WarpStream’s architecture.| www.warpstream.com
WarpStream BYOC reimplements the Kafka protocol with a stateless, zero-disk cloud-native architecture, replacing Kafka brokers with WarpStream Agents to simplify operations. But data streaming extends beyond Kafka clusters alone.| www.warpstream.com
In this post, we’ll look at what noisy neighbors are, the current ways to handle them (cluster quotas and mirroring clusters), and how WarpStream’s solution compares in terms of elasticity, operational simplicity, and cost efficiency.| www.warpstream.com
WarpStream now has the capability to connect to external schema registries, and verify that records actually conform to the provided schema.| www.warpstream.com
WarpStream's BYOC deployment model gives you the security and data sovereignty benefits of self hosting, but without any of the management hassle.| www.warpstream.com
WarpStream is joining Confluent to bring data streaming to customer's cloud accounts with WarpStream BYOC.| www.warpstream.com
How we leverage Antithesis to deterministically simulate our entire SaaS platform and verify its correctness, all the way from signup to running entire Kafka workloads.| www.warpstream.com
The future of modern data infrastructure is object storage.| www.warpstream.com
Chances are you probably had a strong reaction to the title of this post. In our experience, Kafka is one of the most polarizing technologies in the data space. Some people hate it, some people swear by it, but almost every technology company uses it.| www.warpstream.com
