Securely stream data with a fully managed, highly available Apache Kafka service

What is Amazon MSK?

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) is a streaming data service that manages Apache Kafka infrastructure and operations, making it easier for developers and DevOps managers to run Apache Kafka applications and Apache Kafka Connect connectors on AWS—without becoming experts in operating Apache Kafka. Amazon MSK operates, maintains, and scales Apache Kafka clusters, provides enterprise-grade security features out of the box, and has built-in AWS integrations that accelerate development of streaming data applications.
