Running Kafka, NATS or RabbitMQ yourself: reliably transmitting event streams between systems – with storage and computing power that can keep up.
Streaming systems are the nervous system of modern architectures – they require I/O, stability and room for growth.
Kafka partitions and message logs rely on fast storage – NVMe volumes provide the necessary IOPS.
Broker clusters spanning multiple VMs or running in Kubernetes can withstand node failures without losing any messages.
Expired segments and event histories are transferred to S3 via tiered storage – cost-effective and with unlimited capacity.
VPC networks connect source systems, brokers and processing with low internal latency.
Producers write to Kafka topics; stream processors (Flink, Kafka Streams) process the data in Kubernetes; and the results are stored in databases and S3. Advanced Monitoring keeps an eye on latency and throughput – before consumers fall behind.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
Data streaming infrastructure: Run Kafka and event pipelines on your own VMs – low latency, full data sovereignty. The cornerstone is ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented as required by Volumes and Kubernetes. The infrastructure runs in our own German data centres, which are certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and hold an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.
