Join our Virtual Workshop

With Apache Kafka®'s move away from ZooKeeper, Open Source Kafka is leaving you exposed. And, your Hosted Kafka provider isn’t doing anything to help. Teams that use Hosted Kafka services are facing a critical decision: stay with Hosted Kafka and deal with the same underlying challenges around manual processes around upgrades, patches and scaling clusters, or switch to a fully-managed data streaming platform so you never have to worry about migrations again.

What You'll Learn

In this workshop you'll discover how to:

Understand best practices for migrating Hosted Kafka production workloads ahead of the ZooKeeper EOL.
Plan and automate your migration to Confluent Cloud in minutes with the KCP migration tool.
Establish a Cluster Link to pull topics and messages into Confluent Cloud.
Validate successful data replication and ensure data integrity.
Reconfigure producers and consumers to point to Confluent Cloud for a smooth transition with preserved offsets.
Produce real-world workloads with sample order events.

By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of the complete migration process from hosted Kafka to Confluent Cloud, so you can plan your own transition to a fully managed data streaming platform that drives down Kafka costs by 40-70%

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for developers and architects responsible for:

Running mission-critical Apache Kafka workloads on Hosted Kafka deployments.
Planning strategy for the upcoming ZooKeeper end-of-life
Evaluating or planning a migration from hosted Kafka services to Confluent Cloud.
Seeking to reduce operational overhead and move away from complex, manual upgrades.

Prerequisites

1. Sign up for Confluent Cloud

2. Set up API key
