StreamNative Announces General Availability of Universal Connectivity (UniConn)

On September 9, 2024, we introduced Universal Connectivity (UniConn) in public preview—a unified framework in StreamNative Cloud designed to simplify and accelerate real-time data access.

Today, we are excited to announce that UniConn is now generally available for all customers on StreamNative Cloud. With this milestone, enterprises can confidently move workloads into production using UniConn’s broad connector ecosystem, advanced observability, and seamless integration with their data platform stack.

The Power of UniConn

UniConn gives developers the flexibility to leverage the best of both worlds—connectors from Pulsar IO and Kafka Connect—to build streaming pipelines with ease. Whether you’re moving data between messaging systems, databases, data warehouses, or SaaS platforms, UniConn provides a single, consistent way to deploy, monitor, and manage connectors in StreamNative Cloud.
