WarpStream
Diskless, Kafka-compatible streaming platform on object storage

WarpStream is a Kafka-compatible data streaming platform that operates without local disks by writing directly to cloud object storage (AWS S3, GCP GCS, Azure Blob). It deploys as a stateless, auto-scaling agent binary inside your own VPC (BYOC model), eliminating inter-AZ networking costs and the need to manage disk infrastructure. It supports protocol-compatible Kafka clients, schema registries, multi-region clusters, and stream processing without additional infrastructure.
WarpStream agents run stateless in your VPC and stream data directly to and from cloud object storage, eliminating local disks and enabling auto-scaling without manual tuning.
