Ververica, the original creator of Apache Flink and a specialist in real-time data streaming, today unveiled a plan for its ‘Bring Your Own Cloud’ (BYOC) deployment option for the Ververica Streaming Data Platform.
The company introduced its plans for the BYOC deployment option in Berlin at Flink Forward, the company’s annual event for Apache Flink and the data streaming community.
The new deployment option, expected to be available towards the end of November 2024, is expected to provide a managed Apache Flink experience that uses customers’ existing cloud infrastructure to leverage the full flexibility and scalability of Ververica’s Streaming Data Platform. Once launched, BYOC deployment will initially be available to customers operating on AWS infrastructure, with plans to soon after expand to other major cloud providers, such as Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
Powered by the company’s VERA engine, the BYOC deployment of the Streaming Data Platform enables customers to develop both batch and real-time streaming applications while leveraging the security posture of their existing cloud environments. Engineered and developed entirely in-house by Ververica, BYOC was built to align with Zero Trust principles, ensuring customers maintain data governance ownership and retain data sovereignty as data is securely hosted in cloud environments controlled by them.
Vladimir Jandreski, chief product officer, Ververica, said: “As organisations increasingly seek both flexibility and security in their cloud infrastructures, we are proud to introduce a solution that strikes the perfect balance. Our new offering enables users to leverage their existing investments while benefiting from a seamlessly integrated, zero-trust approach. We believe this is a game changer for businesses aiming to stay agile without compromising on control and security.”
BYOC also enables seamless integration with an organisation’s existing tech stack. This is particularly useful for plugging into existing DevOps tools and processes, CI/CD pipelines, and other critical tools, whilst ensuring faster application development lifecycles with less downtime. The platform’s scalability also means businesses can optimise their real-time and batch workloads, maintaining cost efficiency without compromising their cloud strategy.
Alexander Walden, CEO, Ververica, said: “At Ververica, we’re committed to empowering our customers’ streaming data, ensuring they realise measurable out-of-the-box business value, compared to open source Apache Flink.
“With speeds up to twice as fast as open source Flink, our new BYOC deployment offering is just one of the many steps we’re taking to ensure that our customers’ stream processing solutions are as flexible, powerful, and secure as possible.”
