# Stream. Process. Act. Before the Moment Passes.

The streaming data platform built by the creators of Apache Flink. Sovereign by design. Engineered in Europe.

- Your data
- Your cloud
- Your rules

- **2x — Faster Processing**
- **40% — Lower TCO**
- **DORA — Built for DORA requirements**

## What is Ververica’s Apache Flink platform?

Ververica is an enterprise platform for Apache Flink. It runs streaming and batch jobs on the VERA engine and adds real-time AI, streaming data movement with Flink CDC and built-in governance, deployed as BYOC in your own AWS or Azure account or self-managed on your own infrastructure. It is compatible with Apache Flink APIs, so existing jobs run unchanged.

## Mission-Critical Results

Customer Evidence

- **Events Scored Daily**: Single banking deployment
- **Detection Time**: From event to decision
- **TCO Reduction**: vs. previous infrastructure
- **Fewer False Positives**: ML on real-time data

## Ververica Platform Pillars

### Stream Processing

_Compute_

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is Ververica?

Ververica is a real-time data platform built by the original creators of Apache Flink. It combines the Streamhouse unified architecture, Apache Fluss streaming storage, and enterprise-grade compute to deliver sub-millisecond analytics at scale. European-engineered. Sovereign by design. Deployed on any cloud or on-premises.

### What makes Ververica different from open-source Apache Flink?

The Ververica Platform delivers 2x throughput improvement and 40% lower TCO over open-source Flink while maintaining 100% API compatibility. Beyond performance, the platform includes autopilot operations, governance, compliance frameworks (GDPR, DORA, SOC 2), and three deployment models (managed cloud, BYOC, self-managed). Built by the original creators of Apache Flink.

### Is Ververica compatible with my existing Flink jobs?

Yes, with zero code changes. The Ververica Platform is 100% compatible with Apache Flink APIs, SQL, and connectors. Your existing Flink jobs run unchanged. Migration typically takes days, not months.

### Where can I deploy Ververica?

Two options: BYOC (our control plane in your AWS/Azure/GCP account), and Self-Managed (any Kubernetes cluster, including on-premises and air-gapped).

### What is Streamhouse?

Streamhouse is the unified architecture that combines streaming and batch processing into one platform. It uses Apache Fluss for real-time streaming storage and open table formats like Apache Paimon or Iceberg for long-term storage.
