Optimize Kafka clusters based on your business needs and leave the complications of infrastructure management to us.
Easily scale your clusters vertically and horizontally based on capacity and performance requirements so that you can optimize costs and avoid underutilization. At any time, you can scale the configuration plan, the number of brokers, and the total disk storage of your Kafka cluster.
We update your clusters automatically, keeping them stable and secure with minimal disruption to your business.
In the event of a broker failure, Managed Kafka will automatically swap in a healthy broker while the rest of your cluster continues to push and pull messages without downtime. You can modify the number of brokers based on your availability needs, such as adding more brokers to increase total cluster availability.
Launch a Kafka cluster with just a few clicks from our simplified UI or API. Then add topics, consumers, and producers.
Kafka clusters run in your account's private network and are unreachable via the public internet unless the source is whitelisted. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.
You can provision Kafka clusters on 100% dedicated virtual CPUs, so your streaming services will maintain high performance.
Set alerts so you can take better-informed actions to optimize your cluster performance and react faster to problems to keep your customers happy.
Kafka is an open-source distributed event and stream-processing platform built to process demanding real-time data feeds. Kafka is great for businesses in data analytics, the Internet of Things, and streaming which often deploy a complex microservice architecture that relies on large amounts of data to move fast between applications. With Kafka, businesses can make more insightful decisions in real-time, increase data producers like sensors, and add data consumers like customers—without worrying about scalability, performance issues, and complex architecture.
Always know what you'll pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers, all over the world.
