Use Apache Kafka to Migrate to AWS Cloud | Confluent

This post introduces a strategy for gradual cloud migration using Apache Kafka and MirrorMaker. It proposes a central pipeline architecture where data from on-prem Kafka clusters is replicated to AWS Kafka clusters. This approach aims to reduce development and operational costs, improve data quality and consistency, and provide a long-term, multi-datacenter solution for organizations migrating to the cloud. It highlights the benefits of proven multi-datacenter architecture, continuous low-latency synchronization, centralized manageability, enhanced security and governance, and cost savings.
