AWS re:Invent 2017: Bridge to the Cloud: Using Apache Kafka to Migrate to AWS (DEM23)

Опубликовано 30 ноября 2017, 17:04

Most organizations don't move to the cloud all at once. You start with a new use case, or a new application. Sometimes these applications can run independently in the cloud, but oftentimes they need data from the on-premises datacenter. After the first migration is successful, more applications follow: brand new applications start in the cloud and need some data from existing applications that are still running on-premises. Existing applications slowly migrate, but need a strategy for migrating their data in phases, an initial bulk upload often followed by incremental updates. In a mature organization, this process can take years. In this session, Apache Kafka co-creator Neha Narkhede shares how companies around the world are using Kafka to migrate to AWS. By implementing a central pipeline architecture using Apache Kafka to sync on-premises and cloud deployments, companies can accelerate migration times and reduce costs. The Kafka-centric migration process is ultimately more manageable for the organization.
