APACHE KAFKA REBUILT FOR S3

WE REWROTE APACHE KAFKA FROM SCRATCH ON TOP OF S3, RESULTING IN SOME UNIQUE
CAPABILITIES.


NEVER WORRY ABOUT PARTITIONS AGAIN

Properly partitioning your topics is the most major issue running Kafka at
scale. Your produce/consume workload may change at any time causing hotspots to
appear. Astradot allows instant, dynamic, re-partitioning of your topics. Scale
producers and consumers hetrogenously as your workload changes. Need 10
producers and 100 consumers, you can do that! This results in no performance
hotspots ever!


NO NETWORK COSTS

At scale, the cross-az network costs dominate all other costs of running Kafka.
Astradot requires no cross-az replication since it writes directly to S3. Since
traffic to S3 is free, Astradot has no network costs at all.


DURABILITY AND AVAILABILITY OF S3

Astradot writes not just your data to S3 but also a vast majority of related
metadata. Thus you are getting all the availability and durability guarantees of
S3.


PERFORMANCE

Kafka Producers are the only place where latency is higher than regular Kafka.
Its not significantly higher though since produce requests are coalesced. Talk
to us to get more details on this.

Kafka Consumer performance is similar to regular Kafka, as Astradot is able to
use pre-fetching of data.

Astradot is written in Rust, so you get the performance of native code with no
GC.


100% KAFKA COMPATIBILITY

Fully api-compatible with Kafka, including all security features of Kafka.
