What it does

Here at Upstash, we provide Serverless Kafka with a per usage pricing which is loved and used extensively. There was a main ingredient missing from this until now, which is Kafka Connectors. One of the main usecases of Kafka is to use it as a bridge between different systems so that these services are decoupled from each other.
