## About

Based in Illinois, US, and founded in 2023 by co-founders Richard Artoul (CEO) and Ryan Worl, WarpStream operates as a provider of a cloud-based data streaming platform that is integrated with Apache Kafka to provide users with scalable solutions directly within their virtual private networks (VPCs). In March 2024, Warpstream Labs, Inc. raised USD 20 million in venture funding co-led by Greylock and Amplify Partners.

The company offers a direct object storage-based Kafka-compatible data streaming platform that eliminates disk management and inter-AZ bandwidth costs, providing scalability within the virtual private cloud. Additionally, the firm offers protocol compatibility with Apache Kafka®, auto-scaling agent deployment, and a hybrid Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model for affordable and secure solutions.

The company generates revenue through subscriptions to its platform packages, which are priced based on factors such as write throughput and storage. Prices range from USD 0.01 to USD 0.0024 per GiB for write throughput, USD 0.002 per GiB per month for storage, and USD 0.0345 per 15 minutes for cluster usage.
