Data stream processing made simple

Fully managed

Vultr handles infrastructure provisioning and software management, so deployment is simple – just specify your node plan, storage requirements, and broker (Kafka cluster) count.

Efficient scalability

Spin up or destroy Kafka brokers as needed to handle data stream processing requirements. With Vultr’s utility-based pricing, only pay for the resources used.

High availability

Data is streamed through redundant brokers, so the failure of a node doesn’t impact transmission or result in loss of data. With automatic failover, a new broker quickly replaces the old, and persistent storage ensures even interruptions in data streaming does not result in data loss.

Flexible for custom architectures

Harness Kafka Connect to connect Kafka brokers to a wide variety of data sources, repositories, and consumers for fast, efficient real-time streaming. Don’t see the connector required? Kafka’s open source nature ensures the right connector can be created so you can create the data architecture ideal for you.

Deploy near your data – globally

Vultr’s 32 cloud data center regions ensure your data can reach 90% of the world’s population within 2-40 ms, so you can deploy Vultr Managed Apache Kafka® and stream your data where it needs to go worldwide with minimum latency and maximum performance.
