WarpStream Blog

WarpStream operates 24 control plane regions across three cloud providers, and we built the deployment tooling to match without hiring a dedicated infra team. Here's how we evolved from a Go script on a laptop to async reconciliation-based deploy trains that ship code safely across dozens of regions, gate on monitors, and automate Terraform rollouts.

The WarpStream MCP Server connects AI assistants like Claude and Cursor directly to your clusters. Query logs, inspect Diagnostics, and investigate ACL events without leaving your IDE. Just ask questions and let the AI handle the rest.

With WarpStream Events, there is no more wrangling multiple tools. Get built-in observability without any additional infrastructure.

Audit Logs give you a complete, structured record of every authentication action, authorization decision, and platform operation across your WarpStream clusters.

We're excited to launch Lightning Topics and Ripcord Mode. Lightning Topics use delayed sequencing to achieve 33ms median produce latency with S3 Express One Zone — a 70% reduction. Ripcord Mode lets Agents continue processing writes during Control Plane outages.

Kafka ACLs (Access Control Lists) are essential for securing clusters, but enabling them in production clusters that already have traffic can be risky – misconfiguration or subtle syntax errors can block traffic and disrupt existing workloads. WarpStream’s ACL Shadowing solves this problem by evaluating ACLs on live traffic without enforcement, surfacing would-be denials through logs and Diagnostics. This enables operators to identify and fix issues safely, reducing surprises, and giving developers greater confidence when enabling ACLs.

WarpStream Tableflow's architecture takes inspiration from React's virtual DOM, enabling exactly-once ingestion and millions of Iceberg updates per second while ensuring data lake correctness.

We originally launched our BYOC Schema Registry product with full support for Avro schemas. We’re excited to share that our Schema Registry now supports Protobuf schemas, with complete compatibility with Confluent’s Schema Registry.
