WarpStream's Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment model offers a unique approach that balances the benefits of managed cloud infrastructure with the control and security of running software in one's own environment. This model operates without requiring access to the customer's environment, thanks to its Zero Disk Architecture, which separates data from metadata and makes managing the agents trivial. Instead, customers are responsible for deploying and managing their stateless compute, but this comes at a significant benefit: reduced risk of data breaches. The WarpStream security model is designed to be stronger than traditional BYOC models, making it an attractive option for organizations seeking a secure-by-default approach to cloud-native software deployment.
