New data streaming offering alongside recent
and upcoming enhancements make DigitalOcean the cloud of choice for
SMBs
DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the cloud for startups
and SMBs, today announced the launch of DigitalOcean Managed Kafka,
a new, fully managed data streaming platform as a service offering
for Apache Kafka. DigitalOcean Managed Kafka helps small and
medium-sized businesses across industries, including video
streaming, the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, gaming,
and eCommerce, access and process data streams in real time while
eliminating the complexity associated with the Kafka
administration. Through this offering and other enhancements across
DigitalOcean’s portfolio, startups and tech entrepreneurs can more
easily grow their businesses in the cloud.
“While Kafka is the gold standard for data streaming, it
frequently presents technical challenges for smaller businesses
with budget and resource limitations. We are excited to introduce a
solution that makes this technology more accessible and meets
DigitalOcean’s standard for simplicity,” said Megan Wood, Chief
Strategy & Product Officer at DigitalOcean. “By reducing the
burden of implementing a new platform, companies can shift their
focus away from the complexity of managing their data streaming
services and get back to building apps that differentiate their
business.”
As businesses receive higher amounts of data inputs, the ability
to rapidly capture and process this data becomes crucial. Thousands
of companies, including over 80% of Fortune 100 companies, rely on
Kafka to optimize their data streams and provide leaders with
insights that inform decision-making. With DigitalOcean Managed
Kafka, startups and SMBs can benefit from the ability to scale up
and down clusters with ease while setting up alerts for proactive
maintenance. Additionally, DigitalOcean customers can expect
end-to-end security via private networking and data encryption
along with cost-effective, predictable pricing starting at $147 for
a three-node cluster.
“DigitalOcean's Managed Kafka offering has been a game-changer
for us at Datacake,” said Lukas Klein, Chief Technical Officer at
Datacake. “By taking care of the operational aspects of running our
Kafka cluster, we have been able to focus our attention on what
really matters – building a great product. With this new service,
we were able to migrate seamlessly to an event-based architecture
while maintaining the highest levels of operational security.”
Alongside DigitalOcean Managed Kafka, DigitalOcean has been
making investments in its product and infrastructure offerings to
provide peace of mind, increased productivity, and more affordable
solutions to SMBs and startups. Some of those recent updates
