KakaoCloud's new service, Advanced Managed Kafka, has been released.

Advanced Managed Kafka is a fully managed service designed to let users benefit from real-time data streaming while minimizing the operational burden of Kafka.

In today's environment, where data is collected and analyzed in real time, many companies adopt Apache Kafka as a data streaming tool. Kafka has excellent performance and flexibility, but it is a complex system that requires advanced configuration and continuous monitoring. Operating and managing Kafka directly requires significant technical burden and time. KakaoCloud developed Advanced Managed Kafka, a fully managed service designed to minimize the operational burden for Kafka users while allowing them to benefit from real-time data streaming.

Now let's take a closer look at the key features and characteristics of Advanced Managed Kafka.

What is Advanced Managed Kafka?​

Advanced Managed Kafka is a cloud-based service that lets you easily operate Kafka clusters from creation to management. It is suitable for applications that require real-time data streaming, and users can build a stable message queue and streaming environment without complex Kafka configuration.

Key features of Advanced Managed Kafka​

The basic concepts of Advanced Managed Kafka are Cluster and Broker.

A cluster is a core component of the Kafka environment. Advanced Managed Kafka automatically allocates and manages the required resources through simple settings, greatly reducing the complexity of Kafka cluster operations. A broker is a component of a cluster and is responsible for storing and delivering messages.

In Advanced Managed Kafka, broker management can optimize cluster performance and increase data availability.

1. Easy Kafka environment setup

When creating a cluster through Advanced Managed Kafka, you only need to enter simple required information such as cluster name, region and network, number of broker nodes, and volume size. The cluster is then automatically deployed according to the resources configured by the user and prepared for operation.

2. Cluster scaling

When data throughput increases, you may need to scale the cluster to improve processing performance. Advanced Managed Kafka helps users easily increase the number of broker nodes.

3. Volume expansion

When storage space becomes insufficient due to data growth, you may need to expand the volume. Advanced Managed Kafka helps users easily expand volume size.

4. Real-time monitoring and fast response

Advanced Managed Kafka provides features for monitoring key performance metrics of clusters and brokers in real time. Through metrics such as broker, memory, and disk usage and network I/O, you can check cluster status and performance at a glance and improve operational stability by managing clusters before issues occur.

Closing​

Advanced Managed Kafka provides various tools to stably manage real-time streaming data and flexibly operate clusters and brokers. This allows services where data flow is important to secure both high performance and stability.

Select Advanced Managed Kafka in the KakaoCloud console and easily build a Kafka environment. You can find more details in KakaoCloud's How-to Guides documentation.
