What it is

StreamNative is a cloud data platform for capturing, transporting, transforming, governing, and serving business data in real time for applications, analytics, and agents. It provides native Kafka and Pulsar services powered by the Ursa engine, stream processing, schema registry support, and both listed delivery guarantees. Streams can be written directly to Iceberg and Delta tables in object storage. Universal Connect runs Kafka Connect and Pulsar IO connectors, including change-data-capture connectors, on one runtime. The platform supplies agents with governed context through open interfaces such as the StreamNative MCP Server. Deployment choices are Serverless, Dedicated, and BYOC in your cloud account, with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure options. Serverless supports up to 100 MBps per namespace. Plans start at $73 a month for Serverless, $505 a month for Dedicated, and $365 a month for BYOC. Support is included in all plans, with 24/7 technical support available.
