Introduction
LaserData Cloud - enterprise message streaming infrastructure powered by Apache Iggy
LaserData Cloud is currently in private preview and is not available for public use yet. All APIs, features, and behavior described in this documentation are experimental and may change without prior notice.
Access is limited to selected participants — contact us if you're interested in joining the preview program.
LaserData Cloud is an enterprise platform for deploying, managing, and scaling Apache Iggy message streaming clusters. It provides the infrastructure, tooling, and security model required to run ultra-low latency message streaming in production - across managed, BYOC, and On-Premise environments.
Why LaserData Cloud
Apache Iggy is a high-performance, persistent message streaming platform written in Rust, capable of processing millions of messages per second with ultra-low latency. It supports TCP, QUIC, HTTP, and WebSocket transports natively. LaserData Cloud provides the enterprise platform layer on top:
- Managed infrastructure - we handle provisioning, upgrades, TLS certificates, and monitoring so you can focus on your application
- Multiple deployment models - Managed, BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud), and On-Premise with the same management experience
- Zero-trust security - pull-based agent architecture with no inbound connections, no SSH, no vendor access to your VMs
- Multi-tenant organization - Tenants, Divisions, Environments, and Deployments with granular role-based access control
- Built-in observability - telemetry dashboards, audit logging, and real-time health monitoring
- Transparent pricing - usage-based with full cost breakdown — see exactly what goes to cloud infrastructure vs LaserData platform fee
- Compliance-ready - disk encryption by default (AWS, GCP), optional message payload encryption, immutable audit logs, GDPR data export and deletion, working toward SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001
Deployment Models
| Model | Infrastructure | Data Location | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managed | LaserData AWS/GCP | LaserData AWS/GCP | Fully managed, no infrastructure setup required |
| BYOC | Your AWS account | Your AWS account | Enterprises needing data sovereignty |
| On-Premise | Your infrastructure | Your infrastructure | Regulated industries, air-gapped environments |
All three models use the same Warden agent, the same Console UI, and the same APIs.
Architecture at a Glance
| Component | Role | Communication |
|---|---|---|
| Console UI | Web interface for managing deployments | Talks to Platform API |
| Platform API | Central control plane | Receives connections from Warden |
| Warden Agent | Lightweight agent on each node | Outbound HTTPS only - pulls config, tasks, and certs |
| Iggy Server | Message streaming platform | Managed by Warden on each node |
The Warden agent on each node initiates all connections outbound to the control plane. The control plane never connects inbound to your infrastructure - no SSH, no SSM, no open ports.
