Powering Real-Time AI with ONE StreamNative Platform
StreamNative is the leading provider of cloud-native data streaming solutions, built on Apache Pulsar and enhanced with Ursa Engine to deliver a Kafka compatible, cost-efficient, scalable, and lakehouse-ready platform for real-time AI and analytics workloads. Our mission is to empower enterprises with a modern data foundation that seamlessly integrates streaming and batch processing while optimizing cloud costs.
Our Story
StreamNative was founded by the original creators of Apache Pulsar to solve the scalability, cost, and complexity challenges of traditional data streaming platforms like Kafka. We recognized that while real-time data is critical for AI and analytics, existing solutions were expensive, difficult to manage, and lacked native integration with modern data lakehouses.
Our Ursa Engine extends Apache Pulsar with a leaderless architecture, lakehouse-native storage, and seamless compatibility with Kafka, enabling organizations to reduce cloud costs by 10x while maintaining high performance.
