Ververica, the creator of Apache Flink, has launched its ‘Powered By Ververica’ program, aimed at expanding the reach of advanced stream processing technology by providing access to the cutting-edge VERA engine to leading partners.

StreamNative, the cloud-native data streaming company founded by the original creators of Apache Pulsar, joins as the first partner in this initiative.

The Powered By Ververica program is designed to empower partners with the most advanced stream processing capabilities, enabling them to deliver unparalleled performance and efficiency to their customers. Through this partnership, StreamNative will offer a managed Apache Flink product powered by Ververica’s proprietary VERA engine to its cloud customers. This collaboration unites two industry-leading technologies to provide a seamless, powerful, and efficient stream processing solution.

Accelerating Innovation Across Industries

By integrating Flink’s advanced stream processing capabilities with StreamNative’s 100% Kafka-compatible, Pulsar-based Ursa engine; the partnership aims to deliver significant value to customers in verticals such as financial services, automotive, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Organisations can now build real-time applications like fraud detection systems, autonomous vehicle data processing, and predictive maintenance solutions with greater ease and at a lower total cost of ownership.

Alexander Walden, CEO at Ververica, said: “Our mission with the Powered By Ververica program is to put state-of-the-art stream processing technology at the reach of the companies that lead the data revolution.

“We are excited to have StreamNative as our first partner. Together, we’re helping companies to unleash superior value, performance and scalability than possible with purely open-source projects, driving innovation and efficiency across various industries.”

Expanding VERA’s Reach to Industry Leaders

Vladimir Jandreski, chief product officer at Ververica, emphasised the significance of this first partnership. “We’re excited to bring the full power of our VERA engine to the forefront with the launch of our Powered By Ververica program,” Jandreski shared. “This marks a pivotal step in our product evolution, designed to deliver best-in-class performance for data-driven organizations. By teaming up with StreamNative, we’re simplifying access to cutting-edge stream processing technology, empowering businesses to drive innovation and boost operational efficiency.”

Seamless Integration for StreamNative Users

A key advantage of this partnership is the effortless access to real-time stream processing capabilities directly within the StreamNative Cloud platform. Customers can now incorporate the power of Apache Flink and the even higher-performance VERA engine into their workflows with just a few clicks. This streamlined integration makes it easier and faster than ever for organisations to leverage advanced stream processing, enabling them to accelerate innovation and derive value from their data more efficiently.

The partnership addresses common challenges organisations face when deploying stream processing solutions in the cloud, particularly concerning total cost of ownership and system unpredictability. By offering a fully managed, integrated solution, Ververica and StreamNative help organisations avoid unexpected costs and performance issues, ensuring optimal system functionality without surprises.

Sijie Guo, CEO and co-founder of StreamNative, said: “Apache Pulsar provides the fundamental real-time data serving and storage capabilities, while Apache Flink offers critical computing power for both streaming and batch use cases.

“Through our collaboration with Ververica, we’re 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 organisations of all sizes.”

The Ververica Streaming Data Platform will be seamlessly available as a core functionality within StreamNative Cloud, powered by the VERA engine and supported by Flink experts at Ververica. Core features include the ability to run Flink SQL queries, the ability to deploy Flink jobs, and platform management capabilities via Command Line Interface and APIs.
