Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon MSK is a fully managed service that makes it easy to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka. It handles the provisioning and maintenance of the Kafka clusters and Zookeeper nodes, while offering native integration with AWS security (IAM).
Why use it in EDA? If you are "all-in" on AWS, MSK is the logical choice. It gives you open-source Kafka compatibility without the nightmare of managing the servers. It allows you to migrate existing on-prem Kafka workloads to the cloud without rewriting code.
How do we use it?
- Migration: Moving self-hosted clusters to AWS with minimal downtime.
- Security Integration: Controlling access to streams using standard AWS IAM roles.
