Event Store, the event-native data platform company, has announced significant improvements to Event Store Cloud, its fully managed offering of EventStoreDB. These enhancements focus on streamlining management and increasing ease of use, now available on the AWS Marketplace.
Event Store Cloud provides fully managed EventStoreDB clusters in the cloud, allowing developers to concentrate on innovation rather than cluster management. Unlike traditional databases, it logs every event in sequence, creating a comprehensive data lineage that enriches context for downstream applications, including analytics and AI.
Kirk Dunn, CEO of Event Store, stated, "Event Store is the first event-native data platform that marries databases and streaming, providing the best of both worlds for a wide variety of use cases." This approach ensures the fidelity of business-critical data, making it readily available for enterprises to enhance operational effectiveness.
The latest updates include self-service capabilities for resizing clusters, credit card sign-up for quick provisioning on major cloud platforms, enhanced security features, and easier network configurations. These improvements significantly reduce provisioning time from days to minutes and enhance operational efficiency.
Daniel Cano, application transformation architect at Holcim EMEA Digital Center, praised the service, emphasizing that zero downtime is crucial for uninterrupted business transactions.
