Tailored cluster migration solution – for seamless transition from Open-source Kafka to Confluent
Confluent + Fabric for seamless transition
We have meticulously designed our cluster migration solution to ensure a smooth and efficient transition from open-source Kafka to confluent leveraging our deep understanding of both platforms and our solution – OSK to CC / CP Migrator.
Thorough assessment
Assessment and Planning phases are important and consume most of the efforts and time in cluster migration play. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your existing Kafka environment identifying key components and potential challenges in the migration process. Solution is automated tools which assesses existing cluster with all possible parameters and generates a report in no time, containing all required information for planning.
Automated migration of configurations of components
The solution spits out a Terraform script having configuration details of topics, consumer groups, connectors, ACL’s etc.. pulled from Open-Source Kafka. Thisprovides an opportunity for platform admins to review the scripts& do modifications as required prior to moving them to CI/CD pipeline for deployment of these configurations on Confluent Cloud.
Automated data sync setup
The solution provides Terraform-based configuration files to setup data sync between Open-Source Kafka to Confluent Cloud using Replicator to ensure application teams are all set to switch their connection to Confluent Cloud.
Customized migration strateg
Our experts design a migration plan outlining the step-by-step process to seamlessly move your data streams configurations and confluent applications based on the assessment report and different business factors.
Operation Optimization and integration
Most of the operations and integrations are automated with the market standard tools and technologies. It reduces the manual effort, saves time, and decreases the chances of error. It can be the creation of a topic, setting up connector or managing user / services accounts, etc. is simply automated.
Post migration support
Our commitment extends beyond migration. We offer ongoing support and assistance to ensure smooth transition and maximize the benefits of the conference platform.
Benefits of OSK to CC/CP Migrator
Migration Strategy – This solution is applicable for both Full Migration Strategy as well as Incremental Migration Strategy.
Automation first approach

- Reduces overhead for producers and consumer team by automatically migrating the configurations and their assets. This helps producers and consumers to focus on their regular application / business work & without worrying about the migration of their assets manually and meeting the enterprise compliance and schedule requirements.
- Automatically setup replicator for data sync between OSK to CC / CP ensuring producers and consumers be all set to change their connections for applications from OSK to CC. This also gives an opportunity for platform teams to force application teams to migrate.
- Overall Cost Savings – The solution helps migrate the applications quickly, which otherwise can take multiple weeks / months for a large enterprise, which will save costs
