    Kafka FAQs

    Common questions about our Kafka streaming services.

    Kafka vs Pulsar — when should we choose Kafka?
    Kafka is ideal when you need battle-tested, high-throughput event streaming with a mature ecosystem. Choose Kafka for most enterprise use cases, especially when you need strong community support, extensive connectors, and proven production patterns. Pulsar may be preferred for multi-tenancy or geo-replication requirements.
    How many partitions do we need?
    Partition count depends on throughput requirements, consumer parallelism, and ordering guarantees. We analyze your event volumes, key distribution, and consumer group patterns to recommend optimal partition strategies that balance throughput with manageability.
    How do you control consumer lag and reprocessing?
    We implement monitoring for consumer lag with alerting thresholds, auto-scaling consumer groups, and replay-safe processing logic. Our designs ensure idempotent consumers and offset management strategies that support controlled reprocessing when needed.
    KRaft vs ZooKeeper — what do you recommend?
    For new deployments, we recommend KRaft (Kafka Raft) as it simplifies operations by removing ZooKeeper dependency. For existing clusters, we plan migration paths based on your Kafka version and operational requirements. KRaft is production-ready in recent Kafka versions.
    How do you design schema evolution safely?
    We implement Schema Registry with compatibility rules (backward, forward, or full compatibility) based on your use case. Our approach includes schema versioning governance, breaking change detection, and consumer compatibility testing before schema updates.
    Exactly-once vs at-least-once delivery tradeoffs?
    Exactly-once semantics (EOS) provide stronger guarantees but have performance overhead. We evaluate your use case — EOS for financial transactions, at-least-once with idempotent consumers for analytics. Most workloads achieve effectively-once with idempotent processing patterns.
    How do you secure Kafka in production?
    We implement defense-in-depth: TLS encryption for data in transit, SASL/SCRAM for authentication, ACLs for authorization, network segmentation, and secrets management. For regulated industries, we add audit logging and compliance-aligned access controls.
    What's the typical timeline to production?
    For a greenfield Kafka deployment, expect 8–10 weeks from discovery to production. This includes architecture design (1–2 weeks), deployment (2–3 weeks), integration and testing (3 weeks), and production rollout with optimization (2 weeks).
