Reducing Kafka Costs with Leaderless Architecture

‍

Slash your Kafka bill - without sacrificing performance or reliability.

In this in-depth e-book, you’ll discover how object-storage–first, leaderless designs like StreamNative’s Ursa engine can sustain 5 GB/s workloads at just 5 % of the cost of traditional leader-based clusters. Inside, we break down the economics behind inter-AZ network traffic, local-disk replication, and control-plane licensing; compare Ursa, WarpStream, MSK, Redpanda, and self-managed Kafka head-to-head; and walk through a proven benchmarking methodology you can reproduce in your own environment.

Whether you’re scaling to billions of messages or simply trying to tame runaway cloud spend, this guide gives you the data - and the blueprint - to migrate with confidence and start saving today.
