Buf is a technology company offering Bufstream, a self-hosted Kafka alternative with advanced semantic intelligence. Bufstream ensures streaming data quality while significantly reducing cloud costs, providing an efficient drop-in replacement for Apache Kafka. It enforces data quality through Buf Schema Registry and Protobuf schemas, rejecting bad data to ensure trust in the data received by consumers. Bufstream replaces traditional disks with cost-effective object storage, reducing cloud costs tenfold compared to Apache Kafka. Bufstream supports fully air-gapped deployments within AWS or GCP VPCs, offering control and security over data. It facilitates instant data writing to S3-compatible object storage with Apache Iceberg metadata, eliminating the need for separate ETL pipelines. Bufstream also provides fine-grained field-level access controls and simple, transparent pricing without additional fees for cores, agents, or calls.
