Aiven Kafka

Aiven Kafka is a fully managed streaming data service built on Apache Kafka, a distributed messaging system. It can be hosted on all major cloud providers, and the vendor runs the infrastructure so that teams do not have to.

What Aiven Kafka offers

• Managed streaming — scalable message streaming without self-run servers.
• Automatic balancing — spreads load across the cluster on its own.
• Kafka REST — access to Kafka over a REST interface.
• Schema Registry — manages message schemas.
• Security handling — data is encrypted at rest and in transit, services run on dedicated virtual machines, and security updates are applied by the provider.
