December Data Streaming Launch: Azure Marketplace, Serverless on AWS and Azure, Automated Geo-replication, and more

At StreamNative, our vision has always been to democratize data streaming by making it affordable, accessible, and scalable for everyone. During the recent Data Streaming Summit, we announced exciting new features such as the Ursa Engine Public Preview and Universal Linking, aimed at making data streaming more affordable and scalable.

Over the past few months, we’ve focused on accessibility improvements, culminating in this December Data Streaming Launch. These enhancements include:

• Azure Marketplace Launch: StreamNative Cloud is now available across all three major cloud marketplaces.
• Expanded Deployment Options: Serverless on AWS and Azure, alongside self-service Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) on Azure, making Serverless, Dedicated, and BYOC deployment options accessible across all major cloud platforms.
• Fully Automated Geo-Replication: Seamlessly set up global data streaming platforms across any region or cloud provider.

Let’s dive into the details of this exciting launch!

StreamNative Serverless Now Available Across Three Major Cloud Providers

StreamNative Serverless has rapidly become one of our most popular offerings. Since its initial launch, we’ve received requests from users and customers for availability across more regions and cloud providers. Now, we’re thrilled to announce StreamNative Serverless is in Public Preview on AWS and Azure, joining GCP.

You can now create Serverless clusters on any of the three major cloud providers using our console, CLI, or Terraform provider.

Learn how to get started with Serverless.

Fully Automated Geo-Replication in StreamNative Cloud

Geo-replication, a cornerstone feature of Apache Pulsar, ensures seamless data replication across regions for enhanced reliability and availability. Previously, configuring geo-replication required significant effort, including global configuration setup, network connectivity, and credential management.

To address those challenges, we introduced Automated Geo-Replication Setup in StreamNative Cloud. This feature simplifies the setup process, enabling enterprise-grade multi-cluster functionality for all users.

Enhanced Self-service BYOC: Azure, Bring Your Own Network (BYON), DNS, and More

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is one of our most cost-effective and secure solutions, tailored for customers needing sovereignty, security, and compliance. Customizations are critical for BYOC customers, especially in areas like networking and DNS.

With this launch, we’re introducing enhanced self-service support for:

• Self-service BYOC on Azure: Expanding on our support for Serverless on Azure, we now offer self-service BYOC on the Azure Cloud. Customers can provision BYOC clusters on Azure with the same ease as on GCP and AWS.
• Bring Your Own Network (BYON): Provision and tag your VPC and subnets with Vendor=StreamNative to integrate seamlessly.
• Bring Your Own DNS (BYOD): Use your existing public hosted DNS zones by specifying their ID and DNS names.

These features are available on AWS and GCP through our console, CLI, or Terraform provider.

Learn how to provision BYOC clusters yourself.

StreamNative Cloud on Azure Marketplace

In addition to Serverless and BYOC support on Azure, StreamNative Cloud is now available on Azure Marketplace, supporting Serverless, Dedicated, and BYOC deployment options through annual or pay-as-you-go subscriptions. Azure customers can now benefit from:

• Seamless Integration: Connect StreamNative Cloud to Azure services effortlessly.
• Simplified Procurement: Add StreamNative Cloud to your Azure account with just a few clicks.
• Enhanced Security: Enjoy the combined security of Azure and StreamNative Cloud.
• Scalability on Demand: Scale your infrastructure flexibly to meet business needs.

With this launch, StreamNative Cloud is now available on all three major cloud marketplaces.

Now, you can align maintenance schedules with your business needs by setting custom maintenance windows via the cluster settings menu. This feature is available for production support customers across all cluster types.

Improved Observability: RBAC for Metrics API, and Built-In Grafana Dashboards

Observability is critical for managing your data streaming clusters effectively. We’ve made significant improvements:

• RBAC for Metrics API: Use a MetricsViewer role to scrape metrics with reduced privileges.
• Built-In Grafana Dashboard Templates: Quickly set up dashboards and alert rules using our templates.
