What Ververica Platform is
Ververica Platform combines stream and batch processing in one runtime for enterprise production workloads. It supports Apache Flink APIs, SQL, and connectors, allowing existing Flink jobs to run without code changes. Materialized tables maintain themselves, while listed operational capabilities include auto-scaling, auto-recovery, and upgrades without downtime. Deployment choices include managed cloud, BYOC in AWS, Azure, or GCP, and self-managed Kubernetes, on-premises, or air-gapped installations. The integrations catalog describes more than 100 pre-built connectors for databases, queues, data lakes, cloud services, and REST APIs. Connector features include exactly-once delivery, schema evolution, independent parallelism, and event-time watermark strategies. The platform lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification and multi-tenant role-based access control; managed cloud also lists encryption, GDPR compliance, and HIPAA eligibility. Community Edition is free, though license terms may restrict use. Ververica Cloud is usage-based and priced hourly; other pricing is on request.
