Flexible, Managed Kafka For a Fraction of the Cost
Managing Apache Kafka at scale is no small feat, and with organizations increasingly asked to do more with less, it’s no wonder many turn to proprietary versions of Kafka. Unfortunately for these companies, working with commercial vendors can be inviting a wolf to your door — with lock-in and spiraling costs close behind. But what if you could get the same managed Kafka experience at a fraction of the cost, and without the vendor lock-in?
About the Webinar
Join Perforce OpenLogic’s Matthew Weier O’Phinney (Principal Product Manager) and Tendai Munetsi (Professional Services and Technical Support Manager) to learn about the Kafka Service Bundle, a new offering that provides open source enterprise-grade Kafka management and support — at roughly 30% of the cost of commercial alternatives like Confluent Cloud.
Join the webinar for discussions on:
- The hidden complexities of running Kafka in production and keeping it up to date
- The benefits of a customized, 100% open source Kafka implementation
- How OpenLogic’s new Kafka Service Bundle delivers cost-effective, managed Kafka without the vendor lock-in
