Kurrent announced availability of public internet access on its managed service, Kurrent Cloud, streamlining the connectivity process and empowering developers with ease of use.

By eliminating the need for private networking infrastructure, public internet access reduces setup costs and operational overhead. Developers can now spin up and take down Kurrent clusters using Kurrent Cloud’s pay-as-you-go model, transforming how teams build, test and deploy event-driven applications. With easier access, dev teams can rapidly deploy and manage a modern backend data architecture for real-time and AI-ready applications, accelerating prototyping and time-to-market for their products.

Kurrent Cloud now also includes a suite of Connectors — for Apache Kafka, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, HTTP (webhook) and more — that enable seamless data integration and streamline workflows, providing users with:

- Enhanced integration and tooling: Simplified integration with popular developer tools, frameworks and third-party services to create more dynamic and responsive applications. From connecting to CI/CD pipelines to using standard monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana and Grafana Cloud, developers can seamlessly incorporate Kurrent Cloud into their workflows.

- Streamlined data flow: Automate transfer of data originated in Kurrent to other systems using popular message brokers, improving operational efficiency.

- Robust ecosystem: Support for multiple connectors so that businesses can tailor solutions to meet specific needs and leverage existing infrastructure.

“Our goal is to simplify the development process for event-driven systems. This latest update allows users to spin up new clusters and connect instantly. By removing the need for intricate networking configurations, Kurrent Cloud offers seamless access that enables developers to focus on building and scaling their applications without administrative roadblocks,” said Alexey Zimarev, head of product at Kurrent. “These enhancements will transform the way developers interact with Kurrent Cloud, expand integration possibilities and fuel innovation.”

Key benefits:

- Immediate connectivity and developer empowerment: By enabling public internet access for clusters, Kurrent Cloud eliminates the complexity of configuring private networks, VPNs or VPC peering. Developers can create clusters instantly, allowing new team members and distributed teams to connect and collaborate without delay. This feature is particularly beneficial for developers who previously faced challenges due to limited access to their company’s cloud resources.

- Accelerated development and collaboration: Whether working remotely, across regions or in a distributed team setup, developers now have a frictionless way to interact with Kurrent Cloud clusters. This speeds the entire development lifecycle — from rapid prototyping to faster iteration cycles for testing and validation.

- Cross-region collaboration: Seamless access for remote and distributed teams.

- Enhanced debugging: Simplified troubleshooting with direct cluster access.

- Secure and reliable: While simplifying access, Kurrent maintains its commitment to security and reliability, ensuring that data integrity and protection remain paramount.

“We’re dedicated to meeting the dynamic needs of today’s enterprises. By continuously enhancing our offerings, we empower our customers to harness the full potential of event-driven architectures to store and stream complete data journeys for analytics, AI and countless other downstream use cases,” said Kirk Dunn, CEO at Kurrent. “This new capability empowers developers with unprecedented ease of use, flexibility and speed, aligning with Kurrent's mission to provide a superior developer experience in building resilient, event-native applications.”

Public internet access for cluster deployment is now live on Kurrent Cloud (previously known as Event Store Cloud).
