StreamNative Launches Ursa Engine on AWS for Cost-Effective Data Streaming
StreamNative has announced the general availability of its Ursa Engine on Amazon Web Services (AWS), according to a press release. This new offering aims to significantly reduce data streaming costs by a factor of ten for AI-ready lakehouses.
The Ursa Engine is a Kafka-compatible, lakehouse-native data streaming engine that integrates seamlessly with Snowflake Open Catalog, Databricks Unity Catalog, and Amazon S3 Tables. This integration allows for real-time data streaming into AI-ready data lakehouses, making it a practical solution for AI pipelines and analytics.
Alongside the Ursa Engine, StreamNative has introduced UniLink, a migration tool designed to help customers transition from legacy data streaming platforms to Ursa. UniLink facilitates seamless Kafka replication, enabling organizations to migrate without downtime and reducing infrastructure overhead.
StreamNative emphasizes that these innovations eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional systems like Kafka, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution for real-time data streaming and AI applications.
