More Than You Thought: Unlocking the True Value of Kafka on the Cloud

CUT HIDDEN COSTS. HARNESS DATA STREAMING.

"Hosted" Kafka isn't free of ops. Engineering teams are still handling sizing, upgrades, and rebalancing—toil that inflates infrastructure costs and risks downtime.

Confluent Cloud is different. Built on the serverless Kora engine, it decouples compute from storage to scale instantly. Download the guide to see how moving to a cloud-native platform slashes TCO by up to 70% and eliminates Day-2 operations.

Highlights

• Cut TCO 40–70%: Stop over-provisioning infrastructure for peak loads; pay only for what you stream.
• Eliminate Ops Toil: Remove manual patching, sizing, and Zookeeper management from your backlog.
• Scale Instantly: Handle GBps+ throughput with elastic, serverless scaling that is 10x faster than OSS.
• Migrate Securely: Replicate data privately via Cluster Linking—no public endpoints required.
• Guarantee Uptime: Rely on a 99.99% SLA that covers the full streaming stack, not just the infrastructure.
