How Superstream Increases cost-efficiency

  • Enforce cluster and client-level policy to ensure safe and non-abusive usage.
  • Minimize payload by intelligently compressing and/or converting it to binary.
  • Continuously analyzes underutilized resources and automatically mitigates them.

Iterative optimization

Superstream will continuously explore and optimize client properties, cluster settings, topic configurations, and more by running behind-the-scenes experiments and simulations to determine the optimal configuration for the current demand

Improve Performance

Achieve up to 10x more throughput and 6x less latency with Superstream’s adaptive tuning of clients and cluster configurations to meet real-time demands automatically.

6x Less
End-to-end latency is significantly affected by various factors, including filesystem parameters, garbage collection, payload size, client configurations, and more. Superstream will analyze these factors and recommend optimal values to reduce latency.

10x More
Throughput can be significantly enhanced by fine-tuning your producers' buffers and timers. Since there is no universal solution, Superstream will iteratively adjust these settings to ensure optimal throughput.
