Real-Time Data Pipeline Platform Built for Sub-Second SLAs

Sub-second latency. Exactly-once. Stateful. Replayable. Without a Kafka platform team.

Real-time used to mean 'every 15 minutes.' Now it means sub-second — for personalization, fraud, recommendations, and live analytics. Logiciel's real-time data pipeline platform delivers production-grade streaming without forcing you to stand up a Kafka platform team.

'Real-time' has become aspirational

Common reality in most US data teams:

  • Your 'real-time' dashboard refreshes every 15 minutes because that's all the orchestrator can do. 15-minute 'real-time' is a confession that streaming infrastructure isn't trusted enough to operate at design latency.
  • Streaming use cases are stuck in PoC because nobody owns the runtime. PoC-stuck streaming use cases reflect operational concerns, not capability gaps; the fix is platform-level, not effort-level.
  • Latency SLAs are 'best effort' — meaning, nobody's measuring them. Best-effort latency SLAs without measurement are aspirational; the right product makes SLAs measurable and contractual.

If you're searching for real-time data pipelines, you have a sub-second use case

Teams here typically need:

  • Sub-second freshness in user-facing features (personalization, fraud, search). Sub-second freshness in user-facing features is increasingly a product requirement; the platform decision shapes what's feasible at the product level.
  • Exactly-once semantics — for transactions, billing, inventory. Exactly-once semantics for transactions, billing, and inventory is structurally required, not optional — at-least-once with manual dedup is technical debt.
  • An operational model that scales with the team you have. Operational models that scale with the team you have are the structural advantage of managed streaming over self-hosted alternatives.

What you get with Logiciel

Real-time without operational debt.

  • Sub-second latency — for stream-to-API and stream-to-feature use cases. Sub-second latency for stream-to-API and stream-to-feature use cases enables product features that wouldn't be feasible on slower platforms.
  • Exactly-once — across stateful joins, aggregations, windows. Exactly-once semantics across stateful joins, aggregations, and windowing eliminate a class of bugs notoriously hard to debug in production.
  • Replay & time travel — reprocess any window without disrupting consumers. Replay and time travel let you reprocess any window without disrupting current consumers — the structural feature for backfills and debugging.
  • Managed runtime — no Kafka cluster to babysit, no Flink to restart. Managed runtime means no Kafka cluster babysitting, no Flink job restarts at 3am — the operational savings compound over time.

Questions buyers ask before they book

End-to-end p99 of 200ms-1s for typical stream-to-API workloads (personalization, fraud, recommendations, live analytics); end-to-end p99 of 30-60s for stream-to-warehouse workloads (live dashboards, operational analytics). The latency budget breaks down: ingestion (10-50ms p99), stream processing (50-200ms p99 for stateful, lower for stateless), sink writes (50-300ms p99 depending on destination). For sub-100ms hard real-time use cases (ad-tech, high-frequency trading), we recommend evaluating against specialized stream processors; for the 99% of US enterprise streaming use cases, sub-second is sufficient and operationally far simpler. Latency SLAs are part of contracts, not aspirational copy.

Can replace self-managed Kafka or sit alongside Confluent Cloud — your choice. For US teams without a dedicated platform team running Kafka, replacement is usually the right call; operational savings (no cluster ops, no version upgrades, no Zookeeper-to-KRaft migrations) typically outweigh per-message pricing. For teams already heavily invested in Confluent Cloud with KSQL, Schema Registry, and Connect, sitting alongside (using Logiciel for new use cases while keeping Confluent for existing) is often more pragmatic. We don't force migration; we provide migration tooling when you choose. Most US customers consolidate over 12-18 months as Confluent contracts come up for renewal.

Yes — same orchestration primitives, same pipeline definitions, same observability model. Change the input source (a Kafka topic instead of a Snowflake table) and the same transformation logic runs in streaming mode with windowing and exactly-once semantics. This eliminates the 'two architectures' problem where batch and streaming have different code, different lineage, different testing, and different oncall. The unification is one of the highest-leverage Logiciel benefits — operational savings and code maintenance compound over time. About 60% of our customers run unified streaming-and-batch pipelines after 12 months. For workloads that genuinely need different code paths (unusual but real), the platform supports that too.

Native CDC from databases into the streaming platform — Postgres (logical replication), MySQL (binlog), MongoDB (change streams), SQL Server (CDC), Oracle (LogMiner or Goldengate), and 30+ other databases. CDC events flow into Kafka-compatible streams with ordered, exactly-once delivery and full schema evolution support. This eliminates the typical 'two systems for CDC' pattern (Debezium for capture, separate platform for processing). CDC throughput scales with database load; we've supported customers running CDC at hundreds of thousands of events per second across multiple source databases. For high-stakes CDC (regulatory reporting, billing systems), the exactly-once guarantee extends from CDC source through stream processing through downstream sinks.

Native — including stateful operations (joins, aggregations, windowed computations). No manual idempotency keys, no dedup tables, no 'eventually consistent if you squint.' Concretely: streaming sinks (warehouse writes, downstream Kafka topics, API endpoints) are idempotent by default; stateful computations checkpoint with transactional commit semantics; replays of historical windows don't produce duplicates downstream. For US FinTech, billing-critical, and inventory-critical customers where exactly-once is a hard requirement, we've passed independent third-party audits on the guarantee. The exactly-once contract is part of platform SLA, documented precisely so audit and risk teams can validate it. Exactly-once is the platform default; you have to opt out, not opt in.

Flink is an excellent stream processing engine — capable of stateful, exactly-once, sub-second processing at scale. Running Flink well, however, is operationally hard: cluster management, state backend tuning, savepoint management, version upgrades, and SRE expertise that most US data teams don't have on staff. Logiciel gives you Flink-class capability with managed operations — same exactly-once semantics, same stateful processing, same windowing primitives, but no Flink cluster to babysit. For teams running Flink today, we provide a TCO comparison; for teams considering Flink, we typically save 40-60% in total cost when operational overhead is included. We integrate with self-managed Flink for customers who want to keep it.

Per active stream plus storage volume — predictable at scale, contractually capped, with unlimited consumers and producers. Mid-market customers (5-20 streams, moderate volume) typically pay $25-70K ARR; enterprise tiers (50+ streams, high-volume, advanced governance, dedicated TAM, US-citizen support) start at $150K ARR. We don't charge per message (which makes Confluent Cloud bills feel arbitrary) or per consumer (which discourages teams from using streams). Pricing is transparent and includes a workload-grounded TCO comparison against Confluent Cloud or self-managed Kafka at evaluation. For high-volume use cases, savings are typically 40-70%.
