GCP Rapid Buckets should have made WarpStream faster on GCP, but they didn't, until we found the trick. Here's how we cut P99 file write latency by 3x with a few small, surgical changes.

Our PM built a feature all by himself, and he's very proud of it.

WarpStream Tableflow is the simplest, easiest, and most cost-effective way of building data lakes out of Kafka topics. It does all of the tedious background jobs so that you don’t have to build and manage them yourself. Best of all, it plugs into whatever existing Kafka-compatible cluster that you already have, so there’s no upstream migration required to get up and running. It’s a complete data lake engine for Apache Iceberg. We like to think of it as the “bottom half” of the database, with your query engine of choice forming the top half.

The WarpStream team receives lots of questions about our architecture, pricing, unique features, and other aspects of WarpStream. We created this page to serve as an up-to-date repository or list of frequently asked questions. 

WarpStream is joining Confluent to bring data streaming to customer's cloud accounts with WarpStream BYOC.
