# Streambased platform

Streambased Enterprise is a simple, powerful and cost effective way of performing batch analytics with SQL on Apache Kafka via a fully self managed deployment.\
\
Streambased Enterprise deployments can support both cloud managed  and on-prem Kafka deployments and also support "Kafka compatibles" such as RedPanda, Warpstream or Confluent Cloud.\
\
On-prem deployments can immediately take advantage of Streambased acceleration technology, offering up to 100x query performance improvement over today's SQL on Kafka solutions. Utilising this, users get interactive access to explore, experiment and prototype solutions with streaming data using the tools and techniques they are used to.\ <br>
