Warp Streams is a cloud-native event streaming platform built as a drop-in Kafka replacement. It uses the same Kafka protocols and client libraries, so existing Kafka code works without changes. Unlike Kafka (which runs as distributed brokers on your infrastructure), Warp Streams is fully managed in the cloud with serverless scaling, multi-tenancy, and zero operational overhead. Warp Streams abstracts away Kafka's complexity (broker management, rebalancing, ZooKeeper) while preserving its semantics (partitioning, exactly-once delivery, consumer groups). It's designed for teams that want Kafka power without the operational burden of managing a distributed system.
