When tasked with building a real-time data streaming platform capable of processing 1 million events per second, we faced a critical decision: build a self-hosted solution using open-source technologies, or leverage AWS managed services for convenience.
This article details how we built our self-hosted real-time data streaming platform and achieved a 90% cost reduction compared to equivalent AWS managed services, while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and reliability.
The result: A production-ready platform processing 1M events/sec for $24,592/month instead of $243,033/month with AWS managed services.
