Survive Anything, Anywhere

Multi-Region Durability Without Kafka Complexity

WarpStream Multi-Region Clusters guarantee  zero data loss (RPO=0) out of the box with zero additional operational overhead. Multi-region consensus and automatic failover handling.

Zero Data Loss Without the Caveats

Kafka gives you zero data loss if you do lots of additional configuration and if everything goes right. WarpStream gives you  zero data loss even when things go wrong. Go beyond best-effort replication and provide provable guarantees.
The Recovery Point Objective is the point to which a system can guarantee to go back to in the face of catastrophic failure. With WarpStream Multi-Region Clusters we can guarantee RPO=0, which means an acknowledged write is never going to be lost even if an entire region fails.

How does RPO=0 work in WarpStream?

The data and control plane both are made RPO=0 independently. For the former, you configure the Agents to write to multiple object storage buckets across more than one region (this ensures you have at least one copy of data if a region goes down). For the latter, that’s managed by WarpStream, so you just select a multi-region control plane.

How does RPO=0 work in Apache Kafka?

You would deploy a single cluster across all regions. It wouldn’t really be an active-active architecture (it would be a primary-secondary architecture), as each topic-partition will have a leader responsible for writes, and that leader will only live in a single region. If the leader goes down, a new region and leader will need to be selected. The networking setup is complex, and you have to be mindful of leader election and KRaft settings. It will be really expensive due to networking fees.

How do I purchase a Multi-Region Cluster?
