Timeplus is a streaming-first data analytics platform based on the open-source project Proton that integrates with WarpStream to ingest data from your WarpStream topics. For more information on configuring Timeplus to consume data from WarpStream, please review the [Timeplus Proton integration documentation](https://docs.timeplus.com/tutorial-sql-connect-kafka#connect-warp).

You can connect Proton with a local deployment of WarpStream or WarpStream Serverless Cloud.

Example:

```
CREATE EXTERNAL STREAM ext_stream(raw string)
SETTINGS type='kafka',
         brokers='serverless.warpstream.com:9092',
         topic='topic',
         security_protocol='SASL_SSL',
         sasl_mechanism='PLAIN',
         username='..',
         password='..'
```

`sasl_mechanism` can be either `PLAIN` or `SCRAM-SHA-512`, but cannot be `SCRAM-SHA-256`.
