Why MSK?

Apache Kafka is an open-source platform for building real-time streaming data pipelines and applications. However, Apache Kafka is difficult to architect, operate, and manage on your own. Amazon MSK is a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data without needing Apache Kafka infrastructure management expertise.

The resources on this page help you create an Amazon MSK cluster, use best practices when operating and monitoring your cluster, migrate Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK, and use Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink to analyze data streams.
