We’re excited to announce that StreamNative Cloud — the unified platform for real-time data streaming, stream processing, and lakehouse integration — is now available for public preview on the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.

Powered by our high-performance Ursa streaming engine, StreamNative Cloud offers both Apache Pulsar and Apache Kafka APIs in a single platform, enabling organizations to consolidate their streaming workloads, reduce infrastructure costs, and accelerate time-to-value for real-time applications.

The StreamNative ONE Platform on Alibaba Cloud

With this launch, Alibaba Cloud customers can now access the StreamNative ONE Platform, designed to unify messaging, streaming, and lakehouse-ready storage in a fully managed cloud service.

Key capabilities include:

  • Multi-Protocol Streaming – Run Pulsar- and Kafka-based workloads on the same platform without replatforming.
  • Lakehouse-Ready Architecture – Stream data directly into open table formats like Apache Iceberg on Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) for analytics and AI.
  • Global-Scale Messaging & Event Streaming – Leverage Pulsar’s infinite topic scalability, multi-tenancy, and geo-replication.
  • Cost Optimization at Scale – Ursa’s leaderless architecture eliminates cross-AZ replication overhead, reducing networking and storage costs.

Why This Matters for Alibaba Cloud Customers

By bringing StreamNative Cloud to the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace, we make it easier for organizations to:

  • Procure and deploy StreamNative Cloud directly through their Alibaba Cloud account.
  • Integrate with Alibaba Cloud services like OSS, MaxCompute, Hologres, and AI/ML offerings.
  • Simplify architecture by consolidating streaming, messaging, and data lakehouse ingestion into one platform.
  • Accelerate innovation with built-in schema governance, security, and streaming analytics capabilities.

Powered by Ursa for Pulsar and Kafka

At the heart of StreamNative Cloud is Ursa, our next-generation streaming engine built for cloud efficiency and scale. Ursa powers both Pulsar- and Kafka-compatible workloads within StreamNative Cloud, enabling customers to modernize streaming architectures without costly migrations.
