Amazon MSK
Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka is a fully managed, highly available, and secure Apache Kafka service to process streaming data.
Apache Kafka is an Event streaming platform. Kafka combines three key capabilities:
- To publish (write) and subscribe to (read) streams of events, including continuous import/export of your data from other systems
- To store streams of events durably and reliably for as long as you want
- To process streams of events as they occur
And all this functionality is provided in a distributed, highly scalable, elastic, fault-tolerant, and secure manner.
