Faster and easier for developers to stand up Kurrent clusters and use connectors for Apache Kafka, MongoDB, RabbitMQ and more, enhancing data integration
Event-native data platform innovator Kurrent announced availability of public internet access on its managed service, Kurrent Cloud, streamlining the connectivity process and empowering developers with ease of use. By eliminating the need for private networking infrastructure, public internet access reduces setup costs and operational overhead. Developers can now spin up and take down Kurrent clusters using Kurrent Cloud’s pay-as-you-go model, transforming how teams build, test and deploy event-driven applications. With easier access, dev teams can rapidly deploy and manage a modern backend data architecture for real-time and AI-ready applications, accelerating prototyping and time-to-market for their products.
Kurrent Cloud now also includes a suite of Connectors — for Apache Kafka, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, HTTP (webhook) and more — that enable seamless data integration and streamline workflows, providing users with:
- Enhanced integration and tooling: Simplified integration with popular developer tools, frameworks and third-party services to create more dynamic and responsive applications. From connecting to CI/CD pipelines to using standard monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana and Grafana Cloud, developers can seamlessly incorporate Kurrent Cloud into their workflows.
- Streamlined data flow: Automate transfer of data originated in Kurrent to other systems using popular message brokers, improving operational efficiency.
- Robust ecosystem: Support for multiple connectors so that businesses can tailor solutions to meet specific needs and leverage existing infrastructure.
“Our goal is to simplify the development process for event-driven systems. This latest update allows users to spin up new clusters and connect instantly. By removing the need for intricate networking configurations, Kurrent Cloud offers seamless access that enables developers to focus on building and scaling their applications without administrative roadblocks,” said Alexey Zimarev, head of product at Kurrent. “These enhancements will transform the way developers interact with Kurrent Cloud, expand integration possibilities and fuel innovation.”
