Aiven for Apache Kafka®

Aiven for Apache Kafka® is a fully managed distributed data streaming platform, deployable in the cloud of your choice. Apache Kafka is an open source data streaming platform, ideal for event-driven applications, near-real-time data transfer and pipelines, stream analytics, and many more applications where a lot of data needs to move between applications in a speedy manner.

Kafka stores a potentially large number of records, each contains a small amount of data, usually for a limited period of time. The storage is organised into "topics" and "partitions" so that many data streams can be handled at once, regardless of how much data is flowing into or out of your Aiven for Apache Kafka service.
