Multi-DC Deployment Architectures

You can use Confluent Platform to replicate data among multiple datacenters using either the Kafka Connect-based replication feature, Confluent Replicator, or using the Apache Kafka® protocol itself.

Replicator is a Connect-based Confluent Platform component that allows two distinct Kafka clusters to replicate data in either active-passive or active-active architectures.

With Built-in Multi-Region Replication you can deploy Confluent Platform across regional datacenters with automated client failover in the event of a disaster. It enables synchronous and asynchronous replication by topic, and all the replication is offset preserving.

Note

This is a Confluent Platform feature only, and is not available on Confluent Cloud.
