Serverless Kafka

Kafka, without the infrastructure.
Without the cost.

A serverless, stateless Kafka that automatically scales to zero.
No clusters to manage. No fixed costs. Pay only when you stream.

Kafka is powerful.
Running Kafka shouldn't require a dedicated team.

Kafka was never designed for the modern cloud.

Always-on clusters

Even when idle

📊

Stateful brokers

Painful to scale

📈

Permanent overprovisioning

Can't scale to zero

💰

Expensive managed services

Fixed monthly fees

👥

Dedicated operations teams

Just to keep it running

🔧

Complex maintenance

Rebalancing, tuning, monitoring

You're paying for infrastructure, not for data streaming.

Kafka, redesigned for the serverless era

We rebuilt Kafka from the ground up to eliminate infrastructure overhead and fixed costs.

🔄

Stateless brokers

No local state, no rebalancing nightmares

Serverless compute

Automatic horizontal scaling

📉

Scale to zero

No traffic, no cost

💾

Bring your own storage

Keep control, avoid lock-in

🔌

Kafka API compatible

No refactoring required

🚀

Instant scaling

Handle traffic spikes automatically

You keep Kafka. We remove the operational burden.

Why this architecture changes everything

Traditional Kafka tightly couples compute and storage.
We decoupled them.

Decoupled Stateless On-demand
✓ Compute is ephemeral
✓ Storage is external
✓ Brokers store no state
✓ Scaling is instant

Less state → fewer operations → dramatically lower costs.

Radically cheaper — by design

This isn't a pricing trick. It's architectural.

You pay less because:

No idle brokers
No minimum cluster size
No fixed monthly fees
No overprovisioning buffer
No "Kafka tax"

Your Kafka bill should be lower than the cost of hiring a team to run it.

Side-by-side comparison

Traditional Kafka PopStream
Brokers Stateful Stateless
Clusters Always-on On-demand
Scaling Manual Automatic
Idle Cost High Zero
Ops Team Required Yes No
Time to Production Days / Weeks Minutes

Built for developers, not for infrastructure teams

Works with existing Kafka producers and consumers
No cluster sizing
No partition babysitting
No rebalancing tuning
No infrastructure management
It's that simple
Produce.
Consume.
That's it.

Ideal for

Event-driven architectures
Data pipelines
Async microservices
Bursty or intermittent workloads
Startups and scale-ups without infra teams
