Need More Time to Upgrade? Kafka LTS Can Give You That
The upgrade path to Kafka 4.0 is a major undertaking, with the replacement of ZooKeeper with KRaft. Rushing this process can put your entire data pipeline at risk, but staying on an EOL version makes you vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches.
Kafka LTS Allows You To:
Extend Your Migration Timeline
An additional three years of security updates for Kafka 3.8 and 3.9, giving you time to plan a smooth migration.
Ensure clusters stay secure and performant during the transition period.
Maintain Security and Compliance
Security patches for critical and high-severity CVEs (CVSS score of 7+) for 3 years.
Essential bug fixes for a year.
Avoid Vendor Constraints
Stay vendor-neutral during your transition to Apache Kafka.
Get the guidance you need to successfully navigate the move to Kafka 4.0 on your terms.
