DeltaStream: Looking Back at 2024
2024 was a pivotal year for DeltaStream of unprecedented growth and technological breakthroughs. Our journey is defined by relentless innovation, strategic advancements, and an unwavering commitment to creating the best stream processing for data teams. Central to this mission has been our vision to help organizations shift left in their analytics—transforming data as it streams in rather than relying on traditional Extract-Load-Transform (ELT) workflows.
As we reflect on the past year, we're excited to share the milestones that have not only shaped our trajectory but have also reinforced our core mission of making stream processing more accessible, intuitive, and powerful. The following highlights capture the essence of our transformative year:
Raising our Series A
In September, we secured $15M in Series A funding from New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Galaxy Interactive, and Sanabil Investments. This brings our total raised to $25M and will accelerate DeltaStream's vision of providing a serverless stream processing platform to manage, secure, and process all streaming data. We are excited to have NEA, Galaxy Interactive, and Sanabil Investments as partners on this journey!
Expanding Expertise
This year, we welcomed two additions to our team, including a Developer Advocate and Head of Product Marketing. These two additions will help us bring the best product possible to streaming data teams. We are also currently expanding our engineering team; you can apply here and join our team!
Enhancing our User Interface
This year, we made a series of updates to our user interface (UI) based on user feedback. These changes are tailored to streamline real-time data processing and management, making monitoring, managing, and interacting with the platform easier. We partnered with Greydient Lab to bring our users a robust yet simplified platform to better manage data streams. Take a look at a detailed account of everything we improved upon in our UI.
Engineered for Ease
2024 saw the release of many exciting capabilities by DeltaStream. We launched our API v2, which includes GO and Typescript drivers for our DeltaStream API. Additionally we added a Terraform provider and self-served private link support for MSK, along with an ever-improving SQL syntax. This coming year we have many more improvements on our roadmap that we are looking forward to sharing.
Enriching Integrations
Our goal has always been to find ways to serve more users, wherever their data may be. This year we joined the Confluent Partner Program and added the Confluent Kafka store to our platform. Additionally, thanks to user feedback we also added Postgres as a data store. We plan to continually add more data stores to our system so you can bring all your data into motion, wherever it may be.
Widening our Availability
We’ve made it even easier to start stream processing by opening up our platform to an instant 14 day free trial. It’s important to us that users can easily get into our platform and start writing queries in minutes. In keeping with ease of accessibility, we are also in the AWS marketplace making it simple for AWS customers to purchase and start using DeltaStream.
Made Updates to our Open Source Contributions
Recognizing the power of collaboration, we open-sourced our Snowflake connector for Apache Flink in 2023. This connector facilitates native integration between other data sources and Snowflake. Open sourcing this connector aligns with our vision of providing a unified view over all data and making stream processing possible for any product use case. We also made updates and improvements to the connector in 2024, in keeping with our commitment to the Apache Flink community.
Bundle Queries Applications
To make stream processing simpler, more efficient, and more cost effective, we wanted the capability of combining multiple statements together. We did this by creating a new feature called Applications which simplifies workloads, reduces the load on stores, and reduces overall execution cost and latency.
Engaging the Community
We actively participated in various conferences and events, including Current, Databricks: DATA+ AI Summit, AWS reInvent, and numerous data industry gatherings. We hosted a special networking event at Current with our partners RedPanda, Clickhouse, and Conduktor. This year we also began conducting monthly webinars and showcased DeltaStream to the broader community. Thank you to everyone we met and connected with this year!
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead to 2025, our vision remains clear and ambitious. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of stream processing and making sophisticated data technologies accessible to teams of all sizes and complexity.
To everyone who has been part of our journey—our customers who trust us with their most critical data needs, our partners who challenge us to innovate, and our community who inspire us every day—we extend our deepest gratitude. Together, we are not just transforming data; we are creating a more responsive, intelligent, and data-driven future.
