# Streambased Cloud

Streambased cloud is a free to use, managed environment that demonstrates  Streambased technology. Use it to:

* Connect to your pre-existing Kafka infrastructure (or use our demo data) and consume it as Iceberg
* Query using our built in Spark query engine or bring your own.
* Work with the Streambased MCP server and an example chatbot to see the benefits of seamless real-time/analytical datasets for AI.<br>
