Sovereign By Design. No Exceptions.
REAL-TIME AI RUNS INSIDE YOUR TRUST BOUNDARY
As the original creators of Apache Flink®, Ververica has spent 11 years building with and selling to the organizations scaling real-time AI in production. The conversation is consistent across financial services, healthcare, energy, telecom, and manufacturing.
Zero trust is table stakes. Full sovereignty is non-negotiable. Streaming runs inside customer cloud accounts, data centers, and sovereign regions. It cannot safely operate anywhere else.
This is not a market trend. It is the architecture that regulated industries require by law, by procurement mandate, and by design.
THE BUYERS WHO DEFINE THE CATEGORY HAVE ALREADY DECIDED
Every customer who starts with a managed deployment eventually migrates to BYOC or self-managed once their use case proves out and governance requirements surface. The promotion was always the destination.
The buyers who define real-time AI do not permanently run production streaming on multi-tenant infrastructure. They require sovereign deployments, built on zero trust, with full data residency and audit control. We have listened, and we are building for that exclusively.
Where the investment goes:
Inside the customer's own cloud account, with their own keys, their own VPC, their own audit trail. Production-hardened, designed for regulated buyers from day one. Standing up a BYOC environment is as fast as any proof of concept today, on your terms, in your infrastructure.
VERVERICA PLATFORM SELF-MANAGED
On-premise, inside customer infrastructure. The default for the most demanding sovereignty requirements: full data residency, complete operational control, air-gapped environments.
Streaming-native lakehouse on customer-owned object storage. Governed by default, no compute lock-in.
These are the products regulated enterprises buy. These are the products that win the category.
A DISCIPLINED PRODUCT DECISION
Acting on this conviction means making a clear choice. On 30 June 2026, Ververica Cloud Fully Managed Deployment is transitioning to make way for what comes next.
This is not a retreat from the cloud. BYOC IS the cloud, deployed where customers have the governance to run it. And this is not a disruption for any customer: every paid workload transitions to BYOC with full support, on a timeline you, the customer, controls.
Serverless will return, rebuilt around the needs of the practitioners who define where real-time streaming goes next.
Vendors phase out products quietly when they have something to hide. We are saying this loudly because the reasoning is sound, and because what comes next is worth the wait.
Bold. Sovereign. Real-time. The category goes to the vendor with the conviction to build what the buyer requires.
