Seamlessly integrate your data streams with Instaclustr’s fully managed Kafka Connect service
What isKafka Connect?
Kafka Connect is an open source framework and distributed data integration tool that simplifies the process of connecting external systems with Apache Kafka, a high-throughput distributed messaging system.
It serves as a scalable and fault-tolerant solution for capturing data from various sources (such as databases, file systems, and messaging systems) and efficiently streaming them into Kafka topics or vice versa.
Kafka Connect provides a plugin-based architecture, allowing developers to easily extend its functionality and integrate with different connectors for specific data sources or syncs. These attributes make it a powerful tool for building data pipelines and enabling data-driven applications.
Meet Instaclustr for Kafka Connect
We customize and optimize your Kafka Connect deployment so you can focus on the unique features of your applications rather than the data infrastructure. Data available for stream processing will flow seamlessly via Kafka Connect from data sources and syncs into your open source Apache Kafka instance.
-
Fully managed and hosted, 100% open source +
- Run in your cloud provider account or ours
- 24×7 support
- SOC2, ISO27001 and ISO27018 Certified
- PCI-DSS and HIPAA compliant
- Built in monitoring
- Provision via Console, API or Terraform provider
-
99.99% SLA +
We provide a 99.99% availability SLA for production clusters of Kafka Connect.
-
Robust architecture +
For reliability, Kafka Connect is best run in distributed mode as a cluster. We deploy and manage a robust cluster with bundled connectors so you can quickly take your event-driven architecture to the next level.
-
Bundled connectors +
Bundled with our Kafka Connect are connectors for Cassandra, S3, and OpenSearch. We built and contributed to these open source connectors to benefit the whole community of Kafka users.
-
Custom connectors +
As well as the bundled connectors, you can deploy your own custom developed connectors, connectors from the open source ecosystem, or connectors that you have licensed.
We can also build the custom connectors you require.
-
Managed mirroring +
Instaclustr offers Managed Mirroring via MirrorMaker 2 to mirror data between geographical regions, create active/active topologies, or create an additional copy of your data in another region with a failover cluster.
Our Technical Operations team takes full, end to end, responsibility for the availability of the mirroring service. See our support documentation for how to set up mirroring.

Eliminate the burden of self-managed Kafka Connect
Instaclustr allows you to reliably and robustly deploy Kafka Connect. Your Managed Kafka Connect instance will integrate with Managed Apache Kafka in a clustered configuration with high fault tolerance and the ability to prevent node failure. The ecosystem of pre-built connectors available with Kafka Connect makes it easy for you to get data from the relevant sync connector and source connector in the form that you require.

Simplify the connection of your external systems to Apache Kafka
Event driven architecture
Kafka Connect enables a fast, event-driven architecture to robustly allow data flow between multiple services.
Scale without penalty
Deploying Kafka Connect as a distributed cluster means it can scale with your workloads without impacting your Kafka performance.
Unify your data layer
Use connectors to make sure data is reaching your analytics and search stack at the same time it’s pushed to other parts of your infrastructure.
Development speed
Easy to use connectors and a clean REST API make Kafka Connect a fast way to build robust event-driven architectures.
