Event Streaming Platform Service

LSD Open's Event Streaming Platform Service is an enterprise-grade, subscription-based platform that provides end-to-end ownership of real-time data and event streaming environments on AWS.

As organisations adopt event-driven architectures, real-time data pipelines become critical for connecting applications, analytics platforms, and distributed systems. However, building and operating these platforms requires deep expertise across distributed systems, data streaming, scalability, and fault tolerance. LSD Open delivers event streaming as a fully managed platform service combining platform design, deployment, and ongoing operations into a single, productised offering.

The platform supports multiple deployment models depending on customer requirements:

• AWS-native streaming using Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK)
• Enterprise streaming platforms using Confluent deployed on Amazon EKS
• This flexible architecture enables organisations to balance cost, scalability, and advanced enterprise capabilities while maintaining a consistent operational model.
• LSD Open assumes full responsibility for the platform lifecycle, including deployment, scaling, monitoring, optimisation, and operational reliability. This allows engineering teams to focus on building applications and data products rather than managing streaming infrastructure.

Platform Capabilities

• End-to-end deployment and operation of event streaming platforms
• High-throughput, low-latency data streaming across distributed systems
• Fault-tolerant and scalable streaming architecture
• Real-time data ingestion and integration across applications and services
• Stream processing and event-driven application enablement

Enterprise Support Model The service includes enterprise-grade operational support designed for production-critical data platforms:

• 24/7 monitoring and alerting across streaming environments
• Priority incident response and resolution
• SLA-aligned support for production workloads
• Proactive platform optimisation and performance tuning
• Continuous reliability and capacity management

Commercial Model The Event Streaming Platform Service is delivered as a subscription-based offering aligned with platform scale, throughput, and operational complexity.

Fixed monthly subscription based on environment size and requirements Scales with data volume, cluster size, and workload complexity Optional enterprise platform components (e.g. Confluent) supported

This model provides predictable cost, clear ownership, and scalability as data platforms evolve.

Key Outcomes Full ownership of real-time data platform operations Reliable, scalable event streaming infrastructure Reduced operational complexity for data engineering teams Faster delivery of event-driven applications and analytics Improved performance, resilience, and data pipeline stability
