Ververica, the company behind Apache Flink, has introduced its ‘Powered By Ververica’ program, with the goal of extending the reach of advanced stream processing technology by granting 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 this initiative.
The Powered By Ververica program aims to equip partners with the most advanced stream processing capabilities, enabling them to provide unmatched performance and efficiency to their clients. 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 top technologies to deliver a seamless, powerful, and efficient stream processing solution.
The integration of Flink’s advanced stream processing capabilities with StreamNative’s Ursa engine, which is 100% Kafka-compatible and Pulsar-based, is expected to bring significant value to customers in industries such as financial services, automotive, and the Internet of Things. This collaboration will make it easier for organizations to develop real-time applications like fraud detection systems, autonomous vehicle data processing, and predictive maintenance solutions, all while reducing the total cost of ownership.
Alexander Walden, CEO of Ververica, stated: “Our aim with the Powered By Ververica program is to make state-of-the-art stream processing technology accessible to the companies leading the data revolution. We are thrilled to have StreamNative as our inaugural partner. Together, we are helping companies unlock superior value, performance, and scalability, driving innovation and efficiency across various industries.”
Vladimir Jandreski, chief product officer at Ververica, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating: “We are excited to showcase the full power of our VERA engine with the launch of our Powered By Ververica program. This represents a significant step in our product evolution, aimed at delivering top-notch performance for data-driven organizations. By teaming up with StreamNative, we are simplifying access to cutting-edge stream processing technology, empowering businesses to foster innovation and enhance operational efficiency.”
The collaboration between Ververica and StreamNative offers seamless access to real-time stream processing capabilities within the StreamNative Cloud platform. Customers can now integrate the power of Apache Flink and the high-performance VERA engine into their workflows with ease. This streamlined integration makes it quicker and simpler for organizations to leverage advanced stream processing, enabling them to accelerate innovation and extract value from their data more efficiently.
The partnership addresses common challenges faced by organizations when deploying stream processing solutions in the cloud, particularly in terms of total cost of ownership and system unpredictability. By providing a fully managed, integrated solution, Ververica and StreamNative help organizations avoid unexpected costs and performance issues, ensuring optimal system functionality without any surprises.
Sijie Guo, CEO and co-founder of StreamNative, commented: “Apache Pulsar offers essential real-time data serving and storage capabilities, while Apache Flink provides crucial computing power for both streaming and batch use cases. Through our collaboration with Ververica, we are simplifying the implementation of stream processing with two powerful engines – StreamNative’s Ursa and Ververica’s VERA, making it more accessible, affordable, and reliable for organizations of all sizes.”
The Ververica Streaming Data Platform will seamlessly be integrated as a core feature within StreamNative Cloud, powered by the VERA engine and supported by Flink experts at Ververica. Key features include the capability to run Flink SQL queries, deploy Flink jobs, and manage the platform through Command Line Interface and APIs.
