Leapfrog streaming infrastructure for the AI era. sub-millisecond latency. Built in Rust by and for engineers who care about every microsecond.
From the creators ofThe latency tail doesn't just slow AI pipelines, it cascades. A p99 event at step 2 becomes a full stall at step 4. LaserData is built to eliminate the tail, not average it away.

p99 tail latency ripples through every downstream step
In distributed systems, latency compounds. Every service call, every hop, every layer adds up. When your message streaming infrastructure runs at sub-millisecond P99, the entire stack gets faster.
The thinner the bar, the less latency your infrastructure adds.

Apache Iggy doesn't bolt performance onto an existing runtime. Every layer is purpose-built in Rust to make the most of modern hardware, from a 2-core VM to a 128-core bare-metal beast.
Kernel-level async I/O. No syscall overhead, no context switches. Batched operations completed asynchronously by the kernel.
Shared-nothing architecture. Each core owns its data. No locks, no contention. Linear scalability with core count.
Messages read directly from binary buffers. No parsing, no allocation. Data flows from disk to network with minimal CPU.
Rust’s ownership model. Memory safety at compile time. No GC pauses, no stop-the-world. Predictable at every percentile.
Write-optimized storage with configurable retention. Consumer groups, partitioning, and flexible offset management.
A single 2 vCPU node can handle serious workloads. Runs on bare metal, VMs, containers, or cloud instances.
And here’s the receipt
Storage
Page cache · fsync gambles
NVMe · parallel queues
Built for NVMe from day one. Sequential append-only writes, parallel across hardware queues. Modern SSDs are the floor we design for, not an upgrade we hope to exploit.
Parallelism
4–8 cores
64–128 cores
Thread-per-core pins one thread to one CPU. Scales linearly, no lock contention.
I/O Model
epoll · readiness
io_uring · completion
Shared ring buffers between user and kernel eliminate syscall overhead entirely.
Runtime
JVM + GC pauses
Rust · zero-cost
Rust's ownership model gives memory safety at compile time. No garbage collector at runtime.
Fluent builder API, async stream iterators, automatic batching.
4 native protocols. 6 official SDKs. Connect from any language.

Pull-only architecture. The Warden agent on every node only connects outbound. The control plane never reaches in. No inbound ports, no vendor backdoor, no path from our cloud to your data plane.
Zero Vendor Access
Pull-only control plane. We can't touch your data.
End-to-End Encryption
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest. No exceptions.
Dedicated Isolation
Your own VMs, NVMe, and network, never shared.
Dedicated VMs, full isolation, NVMe or Network Drive. VPC peering and PrivateLink available.
Your cloud account, our management. Keep your existing discounts and full data sovereignty. Zero cross-network transfer costs.
Any infrastructure. Bare metal, private cloud, VMs. Same Warden agent, same isolation guarantees, same APIs.
Same APIs, same Console, same Warden agent everywhere.
Dedicated VM isolation at every price point. No shared infrastructure.
We're building Viewstamped Replication, a quorum-based state-machine replication protocol, directly into Apache Iggy. Quorum-acknowledged writes, deterministic primary selection, and a recovery protocol whose durability comes from the replicated quorum, not local disk.
