StreamNative
What it is
StreamNative is a data platform for capturing, transporting, transforming, governing, and serving business data in real time for applications, analytics, and AI agents. It provides native Kafka and Pulsar services powered by the Ursa engine. Streams can be written directly to Iceberg and Delta tables in object storage. Universal Connect runs Kafka Connect and Pulsar IO connectors, including change data capture, on one runtime. The platform supplies agents with governed context from streams and tables through open interfaces such as the StreamNative MCP Server. Named technology partners include Databricks, Snowflake, Ververica, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Deployment choices include serverless, dedicated resources, and BYOC in your cloud account. Serverless runs on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, with regional selection, and supports up to 100 MBps per namespace. Listed security features include authentication, authorization, audit logs, encryption, and multi-tenancy. Support is included in all plans, with 24/7 technical support available.
