Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK)

Securely stream data with a fully managed, highly available Apache Kafka service

Eliminate operational overhead, including the provisioning, configuration, and maintenance of highly available Apache Kafka and Kafka Connect clusters.

Use applications and tools built for Apache Kafka out of the box (no code changes required), and scale cluster capacity automatically.

Easily deploy secure, compliant, and production-ready applications using native AWS integrations.

Keep costs low with Amazon MSK. With pay-as-you-go pricing, it is offered as low as 1/13 the cost of other providers using features such as Tiered Storage and Graviton instances.
