Efficient. Reliable.
Kafka Applications.
Responsive is a cloud native stream processing architecture. Enhance Kafka Streams with disaggregated state, intelligent autoscaling and optimized storage for applications which don't suffer from any unpredicatble lag, are 80% cheaper to operate, and are infinitely scalable.
Product Overview
Better and more efficient.
Eliminate painful operations and reliability issues, all while reducing infrastructure costs. Responsive leverages cloud native technologies to deliver a next generation architecture for Kafka Streams.
Java SDK
End Rebalancing with One Line of Code.
End long rebalancing and restorations by replacing RocksDB with battle-tested remote storage, unlock unlimited throughput with async processing, and gain advanced features like TTL. All while maintaining complete Kafka Streams compatibility.
Remote state for replacing RocksDB with MongoDB
Async Processing for parallelizing high-latency operations
Time-to-Live for limiting storage space
Control Plane
Optimal Capacity, Automatically.
Stop overprovisioning and manually managing scale. Our purpose-built control plane automatically optimizes your Kafka Streams infrastructure based on real-time metrics.
Autoscaling policies for declaratively specifying infrastructure requirements
Metrics API for integrating our observability platform into your APM of choice
RS3 Storage
Robust state at cloud native prices.
RS3 combines the reliability of distributed databases with the cost structure of object storage, reducing your state storage costs by 7x while improving availability.
RS3 is the Responsive Streaming Storage Service built from the cloud up
SlateDB is the open source technology behind our innovations
99.99% Uptime. 50% Cost.
How Responsive can cut your costs.
Did you know that over 70% of your Kafka costs come from the applications, not the brokers? Responsive makes that 70% more efficient and reliable, so you get more for less.
Case Study
Metronome delivers usage-based billing with Responsive.
