Go Diskless With WarpStream

WarpStream is Kafka on easy mode. No clusters to tune, no disks to fail, and no replication fees. Data flows directly to your object storage through stateless Agents. Same clients, same protocol, zero ops.

Simpler, Cheaper, stateless

Why teams switch

Kafka compatibility without the Kafka baggage. Ditch disks, replication fees, and cross-AZ fees — keep your clients, change one URL.

"The sort of stuff we put our WarpStream cluster through wasn't even an option with our previous solution. It kept crashing due to the scale of our data, specifically the amount of data we wanted to store. WarpStream just worked."

Jeffrey Ling, CTO

Runaway Infra and Ops

Stateless Agents and Zero Disks

WarpStream Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) removes brokers. No disks to fill, no clusters to babysit, and no partition math. Agents run statelessly in your VPC and data lands in your object store. Ops disappears, and so do PagerDuty alerts.

Unpredictable Bills

No Inter-AZ Replication or Partition Fees

WarpStream makes streaming costs transparent and linear: you pay for the data you actually stream and store, not for idle brokers or redundant replication. Zero cross-AZ tax, zero disk overhead, and total visibility into usage.

Vendor Lock-in Fear

Drop-in Kafka Protocol

WarpStream runs in your cloud and in your object storage. It speaks the Kafka protocol, so all you have to do is point your existing clients to a new URL. No proprietary APIs and no hidden migration trapdoors.

Enterprise Control

BYOC & Governance Built In

WarpStream brings order without friction. A centralized control plane manages metadata and schema enforcement, while data stays in your environment. Regain observability, policy control, and compliance.

Pioneers & Industry Leaders

Who is switching

Trusted by teams at scale. From AI startups to global observability platforms, WarpStream powers modern streaming stacks that outgrow brokers.

Case Studies

"You don't have to worry about storage and compute. It's data go in, data go out. WarpStream is exactly the abstraction that you want out of Kafka. You pay somebody a small amount of money, you get to keep your data. It just scales up and you don't think about it. I think we've spent zero hours thinking about scaling WarpStream in the last few months."

Alex Haugland, Software Engineer

Zero-ops streaming for AI telemetry and model pipelines. Cursor needed real-time data for their AI-powered IDE without running additional infrastructure. WarpStream gave them Kafka-compatibility, full data ownership in S3, and no ops overhead.

Cut TCO by 90% while scaling to 100 PiB+. Goldsky’s Kafka clusters couldn’t handle tens of thousands of partitions or petabyte-scale data. With WarpStream, they moved to object storage, eliminated broker crashes, and cut total cost of ownership by over 10×.

7.5 GiB/s fan-out with no inter-AZ fees. Grafana’s metrics backend ran into multi-AZ replication costs and bottlenecks. WarpStream’s diskless architecture decoupled write/read paths, letting them stream at multi-GiB throughput with zero cross-AZ fees.

“Unlike trying to run Kafka locally, I ran the Agent demo and it just worked. It was so refreshing to have a Kafka-compatible API running out of the box.”

Brian Anglin, CTO

Orbit

effortless migration

Whether your Kafka source is self-hosted Kafka or a cloud provider, copy your data 1:1 to transition to WarpStream quickly and easily.

Explore Orbit

Zero Ops Kafka Migration

Run Orbit once (for migration) or continuously (for replication, disaster recovery, or tiered storage). Orbit uses a single, simple YAML file.

Built-in Observability

Once Orbit is running, get metrics and reporting on throughput, which topics are being mirrored and have finished migrating, and lag for topics currently in migration.
