When someone builds the foundation of modern streaming, every insight counts.

At Data Streaming Summit 2025, I spoke with Sijie Guo, Co-founder and CEO of StreamNative, about how real-time data is reshaping the way companies move and act on information. Sijie shared how StreamNative continues to evolve Apache Pulsar’s mission — giving teams the ability to process, store, and serve data in motion with performance and simplicity.

We talked about what’s next for the streaming world. Over the next year, Sijie expects deeper convergence between streaming and AI, where real-time pipelines become intelligent enough to drive automated decision-making across industries.

He also emphasized how this summit stood out for its openness — not just a product showcase, but a true ecosystem of technologies working together. His favorite track? The Streaming Lakehouse discussions, where unifying data and streaming meets real-world scalability.

The conversation captures where the future of streaming is heading — and how StreamNative is helping enterprises get there faster.
