Multi-Region Kafka using Synchronous Replication for Disaster Recovery with Zero Data Loss (RPO=0)

Apache Kafka is the backbone of real-time data streaming. Choosing the right deployment model – self-managed, fully managed, or bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) – is a strategic decision. It affects performance, compliance, and cost. This article explains the most common Kafka deployment strategies and highlights the innovation of synchronous multi-region replication to achieve zero data loss (RPO=0). Alternatives like stretched Kafka clusters, Confluent Multi-Region Clusters (MRC), and WarpStream offer different paths to RPO=0. They support critical workloads with strong durability and high availability. For mission critical and regulated use cases, zero data loss is no longer a future goal. It is now achievable with the right architecture.

Multi-Cloud Replication in Real-Time with Apache Kafka and Cluster Linking

Multiple Apache Kafka clusters are the norm; not an exception anymore. Hybrid integration and multi-cloud replication for migration or disaster recovery are common use cases. This blog post explores a real-world success story from financial services around the transition of a large traditional bank from on-premise data centers into the public cloud for multi-cloud data sharing between AWS and Azure.

Apache Kafka Cluster Type Deployment Strategies

Organizations start their data streaming adoption with a single Apache Kafka cluster to deploy the first use cases. The need for group-wide data governance and security but different SLAs, latency, and infrastructure requirements introduce new Kafka clusters. Multiple Kafka clusters are the norm, not an exception. Use cases include hybrid integration, aggregation, migration, and disaster recovery. This blog post explores real-world success stories and cluster strategies for different Kafka deployments across industries.
