Kafka replication: high stakes, high lock-in

​New research with 150 Kafka practitioners reveals they have a love-and-hate relationship with the replication tools. Most use MirrorMaker2 until it lacks enterprise compliance and complexity pinches. Confluent Cluster Linking is powerful, but organisations hate being locked in. 70% of respondents would make the switch to a different tool if they were assured the migration was easy.

Join Guillaume Aymé, the CEO of Lenses.io, who will be discussing the state of Kafka replication with the author of the research, Dinesh Chandrasekhar, the founder of Stratola Research.
