Going for a Leaner Communications Setup to Give Connectivity a Whole New Scale

Kurrent, an event-native data platform innovator, has officially announced the availability of public internet access on its managed service called Kurrent Cloud, something which is designed to streamline the connectivity process and empower developers to achieve ease of use.

According to certain reports, the stated internet access will make it possible for users to eliminate the need for private networking infrastructure, and therefore, cut down significantly on setup costs and operational overhead.

More on the same would reveal how developers can now spin up and take down Kurrent clusters using Kurrent Cloud’s pay-as-you-go model so to effectively transform how teams build, test, and deploy event-driven applications. You see, boasting this easier access, development teams can rapidly deploy and manage modern backend data architecture for real-time and AI-ready applications, thus accelerating prototyping and time-to-market for their products.

Kurrent Cloud also took the given opportunity to introduce a suite of Connectors for Apache Kafka, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, HTTP (webhook), and more.

These connectors, on their part, allow users to enjoy enhanced integration and tooling. This they will achieve by simplifying integration with popular developer tools, frameworks, and third-party services to create more dynamic and responsive applications. You see, right from connecting with CI/CD pipelines to using standard monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Grafana Cloud, developers across the board can seamlessly incorporate Kurrent Cloud into their workflows.

Next up, we have the prospect of a streamlined data flow. This includes automating transfer of data originated in Kurrent to other systems using popular message brokers, thus improving operational efficiency.

Another incentive here is rooted in the availability of a robust ecosystem, which treads up a long distance to support businesses in tailoring solutions to meet their specific needs, and at the same time, 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.”

Anyway, coming back to how the access to public internet on Kurrent Cloud will facilitate immediate connectivity and developer empowerment. Basically, by enabling public internet access for clusters, Kurrent Cloud removes the complexity of configuring private networks, VPNs or VPC peering. Instead, developers who choose to leverage the given internet can create clusters instantly. Such a setup, like you can guess, will enable new team members and distributed teams to connect and collaborate without delay.

In fact, this feature becomes all the more important in the context of developers who previously faced challenges due to limited access to their company’s cloud resources.

Next up, there is the promise to accelerate development and collaboration. Hence, developers can come expecting a frictionless way to interact with Kurrent Cloud clusters regardless of their location at a given time, eventually leading to faster development lifecycle, from rapid prototyping to faster iteration cycles for testing and validation. This also paves the way for users to achieve cross-region collaboration.

Among other things, we have an enhanced debugging facility, which ensures simplified troubleshooting with direct cluster access.

We also have the pledge of cutting-edge security. In essence, despite simplifying access, Kurrent maintains its commitment to security and reliability at all times.

“We’re dedicated to meeting the dynamic needs of today’s enterprises. By continuously enhancing our offerings, we empower our customers to harness the full potential of event-driven architectures to store and stream complete data journeys for analytics, AI and countless other downstream use cases,” said Kirk Dunn, CEO at Kurrent. “This new capability empowers developers with unprecedented ease of use, flexibility and speed, aligning with Kurrent’s mission to provide a superior developer experience in building resilient, event-native applications.”
