Do you have experience with Confluent? How does that compare?
- dullgiulio 7y agoConsidering that Confluent actually develops the Open Source Kafka project, I expect these problems to be AWS only. Go for the real thing and don't give Bezos money for a crippled product.
- alienreborn 7y agoConfluent Cloud is pay by usage (per GB in, per GB out, per GB stored), so its much pricier based on your org's usage. However, it is definitely feature rich. - Doesn't expose metrics via JMX but does provide a nice tool called confluent control center for monitoring and managing kafka cluster - Built in and Managed Schema Registry but - AFAIK they won't reveal cluster size or cluster version (except client compability). So, they do scaling and upgrades automatically. It's a double edged-sword but should work for lot of orgs. - Overall, definitely a better product than aws msk.
