Kafka Long-Term Support

Extend the life of your Kafka deployments and remain compliant with Kafka LTS.

Secure Your Data, Upgrade On Your Schedule

The upgrade path to Kafka 4.0 is difficult, with the removal of ZooKeeper and other major changes. Many organizations need time to understand how the migration will impact their data infrastructure, but staying on an older version of Kafka that has reached end-of-life presents serious security risks. With Kafka LTS from OpenLogic, teams can upgrade when they’re ready without jeopardizing their streaming data pipelines. 

Benefits of Kafka LTS

  • 3-Year EOL Security: Security patches, bug fixes, and performance updates without the rush to upgrade.
  • More Time to Plan: Align updates with your business needs, not the community support lifecycle.
  • Expert Guidance: Direct access to enterprise architects with deep Kafka experience since 2017.

Kafka LTS Details

  • Available for Kafka 3.8 and Kafka 3.9
  • Bug fixes for one year
  • Security patches for three years for critical and high-severity CVEs

Apache Kafka end-of-life (EOL) doesn’t have to force your hand.

Why Choose OpenLogic for Kafka LTS?

With OpenLogic Kafka LTS, you don’t have to upgrade every year.  

Kafka releases come out every four months, with roughly one year of community support per minor release. Kafka LTS from OpenLogic breaks that cycle, extending that lifecycle for an additional three years.
