Decoupling your applications
A product team wants its services to communicate without direct dependencies
- Provision a Kafka cluster from the console, with the sizing preset that fits the workload
- Create the topics for business events, with their partition count and retention
- Each service publishes and consumes its events on those topics
- Enable the Apicurio Schema Registry when creating the cluster to manage your schemas
Decoupled services, each team moves at its own pace
Tracking business events as they happen
A data team wants to consume business events continuously
- Create the topic that carries the events to track
- Point your consumers at the bootstrap servers published by the console
- Authentication goes through an OAuth token, with no Kafka credentials to hand out
- Process events as they come in your applications
Your consumers receive events continuously, without waiting for a batch
A Kafka cluster for development
A developer needs a Kafka cluster to test a feature
- Provision a cluster with the development preset, a single broker
- Test the code against a real cluster, with its own topics
- Put the cluster to sleep in the service manifest once testing is done
- Broker volumes are preserved, the cluster comes back with its topics when needed
A Kafka development environment with no compute cost when it is not in use
Key benefits
- Self-service provisioning in a few clicks
