Bufstream: A multi-region, active-active Apache Kafka-compatible cluster tested to 100 GiB/s writes and 300 GiB/s reads.

Can you tell the difference between the end-to-end latencies of a multi-region and single-region Bufstream cluster?

On the left is the single-region cluster from our last post.

On the right is a test we completed with 100 GiB/s writes replicated through two (!) cloud regions entirely via GCS.

Bufstream: 100 GiB/s of writes and 300 GiB/s of reads at 350ms latency in GCP.

For a cost that’s literally 25x lower than the cheapest Confluent Cloud offers.

Bufstream’s stateless design gives you all of this, with the operational simplicity that lets you sleep at night.

What if I told you that a 1 GiB/s Kafka topic streamed directly into your S3 data lakehouse as an Iceberg table could cost you... $10/hr?

Bufstream does it. It's literally too good to be true.

I spent 20 hours researching them. Here's their story (2 minute read) 🧵

100GB/s in a Bufstream cluster running active-active *across multiple regions*? We're looking at the results right now - and we haven't even approached Bufstream's limit.

We're excited to share the results with the world in the coming weeks. Follow for updates.

We've launched custom lint and breaking change plugins for Buf! Check it out to see how easy it is to author, test, and consume your own lint and breaking change rules via the Bufplugin framework: buf.build/blog/buf-cus...

Version 2.0 of Protobuf-ES has launched! It fully supports Protobuf Editions, improves our generated code to better interop with popular frameworks, and offers full reflection support. Check it out here: github.com/bufbuild/pro...

We're excited to announce the public beta of Bufstream, a drop-in replacement for Apache Kafka that's 10x less expensive to operate and brings Protobuf-first data governance to the rest of us.

next week, July 7th-10th, in Chicago! We're hosting an office hours-style Community Day session to dive deep into #protobuf and #gRPC: www.gophercon.com/agenda/sessi...

NEW: Connect RPC's conformance suite test is now available! We've tested all our implementations, as well as Google's gRPC, you're gonna want to see what we've found 👀: buf.build/blog/grpc-co...

The next generation of the Buf CLI is here (and still 100% backward compatible)! We’ve completely overhauled it to support monorepos as first-class citizens. Learn more on our blog: buf.build/blog/buf-cli...
