VERA White Paper

In today’s data-driven landscape, managing and processing large-scale streaming data is essential to staying competitive. While Apache Flink® offers a powerful platform for real-time stream processing, its complexities can be a barrier, often requiring deep technical expertise and significant resources.

That’s where Ververica’s Runtime Assembly (VERA) comes in. VERA is a cloud-native, ultra-high-performance engine that powers Ververica’s Streaming Data Platform, making stream processing accessible to all—not just the experts. By addressing key pain points like latency, scalability, and operational complexity, VERA enhances Flink’s performance and simplifies the user experience.

In this white paper, you will find:

  • An introduction to the VERA architecture
  • The reasoning behind why Ververica built the VERA engine
  • How VERA tackles 5 key challenges of OS Apache Flink
  • A brief journey through the democratization of stream processing
  • Results of our performance comparison between VERA’s state engine (Gemini) and the open-source Apache Flink state engine (RocksDB)
  • Insights into how VERA remains open core and 100% Apache Flink compatible, while evolving Flink to run natively in modern cloud environments
  • How VERA simplifies the complexities of fault tolerance while providing better support for large stateful applications
