Ververica, the creator of Apache Flink, has introduced the “Powered By Ververica” program to broaden the reach of advanced stream processing technology. This initiative offers leading partners access to the cutting-edge VERA engine.
StreamNative, a cloud-native data streaming company founded by the original creators of Apache Pulsar, is the first partner to join the program.
The Powered By Ververica program is designed to equip partners with advanced stream processing capabilities, allowing them to provide outstanding performance and efficiency to their customers. Through this collaboration, StreamNative will offer a managed Apache Flink product powered by Ververica’s VERA engine to its cloud customers. This partnership brings together two leading technologies, offering a powerful, seamless, and efficient stream processing solution.
The integration of Flink’s stream processing power with StreamNative’s 100% Kafka-compatible, Pulsar-based Ursa engine will benefit industries such as financial services, automotive, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This partnership enables organizations to easily build real-time applications, such as fraud detection systems, autonomous vehicle data processing, and predictive maintenance solutions, at a lower total cost of ownership.
The goal of the Powered By Ververica program is to make state-of-the-art stream processing technology available to companies leading the data revolution. With StreamNative as its first partner, Ververica is helping companies achieve superior value, performance, and scalability compared to purely open-source projects, driving innovation and efficiency across various sectors.
This collaboration represents a significant step forward for Ververica, as it brings the full power of the VERA engine to more businesses. The partnership simplifies access to cutting-edge stream processing technology, enabling organizations to innovate and improve operational efficiency.
A major advantage of this partnership is the easy access to real-time stream processing capabilities directly within the StreamNative Cloud platform. Customers can now integrate the power of Apache Flink and the high-performance VERA engine into their workflows with just a few clicks. This seamless integration makes it quicker and easier for organizations to leverage advanced stream processing, helping them accelerate innovation and gain more value from their data.
The collaboration also addresses common challenges organizations face when implementing stream processing solutions in the cloud, particularly regarding cost and system unpredictability. By offering a fully managed, integrated solution, Ververica and StreamNative help businesses avoid unexpected costs and performance issues, ensuring smooth and efficient system functionality.
StreamNative’s CEO and co-founder, Sijie Guo, emphasized that Apache Pulsar provides the essential real-time data storage and serving capabilities, while Apache Flink offers the computing power needed for both streaming and batch use cases. Through their collaboration, Ververica and StreamNative are making stream processing easier to implement, more affordable, and more reliable for organizations of all sizes.
The Ververica Streaming Data Platform will be integrated as a core feature within the StreamNative Cloud. Powered by the VERA engine and supported by Flink experts at Ververica, this platform includes key features such as the ability to run Flink SQL queries, deploy Flink jobs, and manage the platform via Command Line Interface and APIs.
