MSK is a great service, which considerably reduces operational overhead. One remaining piece is backing up Kafka topics. In particular, when connecting microservices via Kafka this is quite important, i.e. there is high screw up potential if it fails.
Hence, do you have plans to provide backups for MSK, e.g. stream Kafka topics to S3 via Firehose?
Hi Ronny - yes, we have plans to make this easier for customers. In the meantime we recommend using a Kafka to S3 connector. There are multiple options offered by AWS partners or from the community on GitHub.
