StreamNative BYOC

Enterprise-grade Data Streaming, Fully Managed in Your Cloud

Run Pulsar- and Kafka-compatible streaming in your own AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure account—preserving data sovereignty and compliance while we operate the platform. Keep full control of your data in your environment; we handle provisioning, upgrades, security patches, and 24/7 monitoring.

Why BYOC² is Affordable

Multi-Cloud Freedom

Deploy in AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Avoid lock-in and choose the environment that fits your strategy.

Cost-Efficiency

Eliminate inter-VPC egress, reduce cloud spend, and optimize infrastructure with right-sized clusters.

Security & Compliance

Keep data and metadata in your own controlled environment to meet stringent security and regulatory requirements.

BYOC (bring your own cloud) provides a fully managed data streaming environment that is compatible with both Pulsar and Kafka APIs:

Runs in Your Cloud

Deploy inside your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account.

Fully Managed Ops

We handle provisioning, 24/7 monitoring, upgrades, and patches.

99.99% availability SLA

Multi-zone deployments backed by a 99.99% availability SLA.

No External Dependencies

Data and metadata stay in-cloud; no single point of failure.

Data Never Leaves

Sensitive data and credentials remain within your environment.

BYOC Pro Option

Advanced controls tailored to your security and operational model.

How It Works

In a BYOC deployment, a Portable Data Plane is installed in your cloud account. StreamNative control plane orchestrates cluster operations and policy, while the data plane runs topics, consumer groups, connectors, and schemas.

Immutable Infrastructure

Define the entire data plane as code (Terraform + Kubernetes manifests) to enable rapid rebuilds and simple migrations across clouds and between public and private environments.

Atomic Data Plane

Run a self-contained data plane that eliminates single points of failure, while a lightweight control plane focuses on orchestration without becoming a bottleneck.

Decoupled Orchestration

Separate policy and lifecycle management from runtime, keeping operations resilient and scalable as clusters evolve, upgrade, or move across regions, accounts, and clouds.

Open & Auditable

Use open standards and APIs—cross-account IAM and Kubernetes CRDs/operators—with no closed-source agents, so every change is visible and traceable with standard tooling.

Secure by Design

Apply least-privilege access, revoke control-plane permissions at any time, and keep secrets in your cloud to meet strict security and compliance requirements.

Full Metadata Control

Host metadata services in your environment so workloads continue running if the control plane is unavailable, preserving sovereignty and avoiding vendor lock-in.

How is BYOC priced?

Classic-Engine BYOC/BYOC Pro uses a resource-based model: Compute Units (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) for stateless components and Storage Units (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) for stateful ones—billed hourly. Ursa-Engine BYOC/BYOC Pro uses throughput-based Elastic Throughput Units (min 1 ETU), billed hourly by the highest of ingress, egress, or data-entries in that hour. Billing accrues hourly and is invoiced monthly; default subscription is Pay-As-You-Go.

What cloud providers does StreamNative support for BYOC?

BYOC deploys in your own AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or Alibaba account, and you can choose the region within those clouds.

What data does StreamNative collect? How is access controlled?

StreamNative connects via a Cloud Connection that stores account identifiers (not credentials) and assumes roles/service identities to manage only the resources required in your account. You retain ownership of infrastructure, network, and data, maintaining security visibility and sovereignty.
