Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka is a fully managed, highly available, and secure Apache Kafka service to process streaming data.

Apache Kafka is an Event streaming platform. Kafka combines three key capabilities:

  1. To publish (write) and subscribe to (read) streams of events, including continuous import/export of your data from other systems
  2. To store streams of events durably and reliably for as long as you want
  3. To process streams of events as they occur

And all this functionality is provided in a distributed, highly scalable, elastic, fault-tolerant, and secure manner.

AWS Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) simplifies Event Streaming on the Cloud.
