Title of Talk:
Secure by Design: How WarpStream's Zero-Access Deployment Model Guarantees Data Sovereignty

Abstract:
WarpStream is a Kafka protocol-compatible streaming platform, but its internal architecture is very different from Kafka. It was originally designed to trade off latency in favor of cost and ease of management. But another benefit of WarpStream's architecture is its principle of Zero-Access BYOC. In this Zero-Access BYOC model, a significant portion of the complexity of running WarpStream is delegated to the fully-managed control plane, however, unlike traditional BYOC models, WarpStream maintains a hard split between the data plane and the control plane. This means that although WarpStream operates like a managed service, the architecture guarantees that no external party can access the data plane or the compute at any time. In this talk, we will review how WarpStream's internal design enables this Zero-Access model, while maintaining a developer experience that is similar to using a fully-managed service.
