Apache Kafka is the de facto standard for event streaming, powering real-time data pipelines for thousands of companies including LinkedIn, Netflix, and Uber.
Our managed Kafka service delivers enterprise-grade reliability with multi-region replication, automatic scaling, and comprehensive monitoring—without the operational complexity.
Automatic leader election and partition reassignment ensure continuous operation during broker failures.
Add brokers dynamically to increase throughput. Kafka scales horizontally to handle massive workloads.
Replicated partitions across brokers and regions with configurable acknowledgment levels.
Store all state changes as immutable events. Build materialized views and enable time travel debugging.
Process streaming data in real-time with Kafka Streams or ksqlDB for instant insights and dashboards.
Connect databases, data warehouses, and applications with Kafka Connect for unified data pipelines.
Centralize application logs and metrics at massive scale. Feed into Elasticsearch, Splunk, or data lakes.
Stream database changes in real-time using Debezium. Keep systems synchronized without polling.
Feed real-time features to ML models. Stream predictions back for immediate action and model feedback.
Idempotent producers and transactional writes ensure no duplicates or data loss.
AI-driven scaling adds brokers and partitions based on throughput and consumer lag.
Deploy across AWS, Azure, GCP with MirrorMaker 2 for cross-cloud replication.
Replay messages from any point in time with configurable retention policies.
Avro, Protobuf, and JSON Schema support with backward/forward compatibility.
TLS encryption, SASL authentication, and fine-grained ACLs for topics and consumer groups.
Real-time metrics on throughput, lag, partition distribution, and broker health.
Regular snapshots of cluster metadata and topic configurations with disaster recovery.
HTTP REST API for producers and consumers when native protocol isn't feasible.
