Confluent + WarpStream = Large-Scale Streaming in your Cloud

Confluent has acquired WarpStream, adding their Kafka-compatible streaming solution to its portfolio alongside Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud. The acquisition aims to make data streaming the central nervous system of every company by offering a range of use cases and companies. WarpStream's unique architecture provides offset-preserving replication, Cluster Quotas, and direct-to-S3 writes. Their next-generation approach to BYOC architectures offers a compelling tradeoff between ease of use and control while maintaining strong boundaries for security and operations. Confluent plans to invest in security and hardening over time to bring WarpStream up to the same enterprise-grade standards as its other products.
