Astra Streaming is a powerful new streaming service that enables developers to build applications on top of an elastically scalable, multi-cloud messaging and event streaming platform powered by Apache Pulsar. The service is currently in beta and offers various features such as feeding information into the streaming "pipe" and storing events into different destinations like Kafka topics, Elastic Search, Snowflake, and more. Astra Streaming can be used for any use case that requires real-time streaming data and historical data analysis. The service is easy to set up and offers a free account with $25 worth of credits each month in perpetuity.
