What is Amazon MSK?

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) streamlines the creation and management of applications that utilize Apache Kafka for processing streaming data. As an open-source solution, Apache Kafka supports the development of real-time data pipelines and applications. By employing Amazon MSK, you can take advantage of Apache Kafka’s native APIs for a range of functions, including filling data lakes, enabling data interchange between databases, and supporting machine learning and analytical initiatives. Nevertheless, independently managing Apache Kafka clusters can be quite challenging, as it involves tasks such as server provisioning, manual setup, and addressing server outages. Furthermore, it requires you to manage updates and patches, design clusters for high availability, securely and durably store data, set up monitoring systems, and strategically plan for scaling to handle varying workloads. With Amazon MSK, many of these complexities are mitigated, allowing you to concentrate more on application development rather than the intricacies of infrastructure management. This results in enhanced productivity and more efficient use of resources in your projects.
