Weโ€™re officially live, starting with the free tier for sandboxing. The first step toward building the next generation of message streaming infrastructure, by a small team of engineers.

10 years writing software. 3 years deep in @ApacheIggy, and still going. Sometimes a millisecond is more than enough. Now also building @laserdatainc with @KrantiParisa and an incredible founding team. Next-gen message streaming platform on top of Iggy. ๐Ÿฆ€

๐—™๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต. For years, message streaming systems have optimized for throughput and cost. Benchmarks got bigger. Numbers looked impressive. But real systems donโ€™t run on benchmarks. End Users donโ€™t feel throughput. End Users donโ€™t feel cost. They feel ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re building LaserData โ€” ultra-low latency, predictable message streaming infrastructure for the AI era, without compromising throughput or cost! Built by the creators of @ApacheIggy We believe the next generation of streaming systems wonโ€™t be defined by how fast they areโ€ฆ but by how ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ they are at tail latencies under real-world conditions. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด. #AIInfrastructure #DistributedSystems #StreamingData #UltraLowLatency #DataEngineering #CloudInfrastructure #OpenSource #ApacheIggy

Check out this blog post by @gortron, who used Apache Iggy as the event spine for a 6-tier streaming lakehouse. Incredibly efficient, barely touching the CPU. gordonmurray.ie/data/2026/03โ€ฆ #iggy #rust #apache #asf #streaming #messaging
