Trusted Apache Kafka to Amazon Kinesis Migration Service
How to migrate Apache Kafka to Amazon Kinesis: We run a fixed-scope project with senior engineers, validate data in parallel, and keep your legacy cluster supported. No forced cutover.
The lowest-cost way off Apache Kafka: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support Apache Kafka → Amazon Kinesis after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project with senior platform engineers
- ✓Parallel pipeline deployment validates data in Kinesis first
- ✓Eliminate Kafka partition tuning and broker patching
- ✓Serverless ingest scales automatically with your traffic
- ✓Legacy cluster stays under vendor support during your move
Unpredictable Burst Capacity
Your on-prem Kafka can't handle sudden event spikes, and resharding means downtime. Kinesis scales transparently.
Kafka Feature Lock-In
Compaction and retention exceeding 7 days stall your move. We assess and address these in the discovery phase.
Corporate Serverless Mandate
Your CTO wants pure serverless on AWS, but migration risk feels high. Our engineering team de-risks it with a proven playbook.
Apache Kafka → Amazon Kinesis migration — your questions answered
How do you validate data consistency during migration?+
We run your existing Kafka producers and consumers in parallel against a Kinesis test stream. Once data matches, we cut traffic. No big-bang switch.
What about large messages or log compaction needs?+
Kinesis has a 1 MB record limit. For larger payloads, we either split messages or use active archiving to S3. We assess your data in the free 2-week audit.
How long does a Kafka-to-Kinesis migration take?+
Typical projects run 3–5 months with 2–3 senior consultants. Budgets range from $50,000 to $180,000. We fix scope before any work begins.
What support do I get during the move?+
As long as your vendor contract is active, Kafka stays under full vendor support. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you complete the move.
