Why Use Kafka on Kubernetes?

Running Kafka on Kubernetes combines the power of Apache Kafka for event streaming with Kubernetes’ orchestration and automation.
Inteca designs and operates your Kafka cluster on Kubernetes, using best practices for resilience, security, and performance.

  • Deploy Kafka easily with Strimzi Operator or Red Hat Streams of Kafka
  • Run Kafka clusters with replication factor three for high availability.
  • Scale brokers and partitions seamlessly without downtime
  • Deploy Kafka consistently across EKS, OpenShift, or any Kubernetes platform
  • Use Kubernetes to optimise resources for Kafka brokers and services

Key capabilities of Kafka on Kubernetes

High Availability with Replication

We build highly available Kafka clusters with at least three replicas per partition.

Scalable and Flexible Deployments

Easily increase the number of Kafka brokers to handle your expected load on the cluster.
Producers and consumers continue to operate seamlessly as we scale your Kafka deployments.

Secure Communication and AccessSecure Communication and Access

Enable TLS encryption for Kafka brokers and ZooKeeper, SASL/OAuth2 authentication, and fine-grained RBAC. Expose Kafka outside of the cluster securely using headless services, NodePorts, or LoadBalancers.

Full Ecosystem Support

Deploy Kafka Connect for data integration, Kafka Streams for real-time processing, and MirrorMaker 2 for cross-cluster replication. Manage your Kafka topics declaratively via YAML.

Key Considerations for Deploying Kafka

We deliver more than just managed Kafka clusters


Inteca builds secure, scalable, and highly available Kafka clusters on Kubernetes, optimised for production workloads.Inteca builds secure, scalable, and highly available Kafka clusters on Kubernetes, optimised for production workloads.

01

High Availability and Scalability

We deploy 3-node Kafka clusters with a replication factor of three, ensuring no data loss during node failures. Clusters scale easily to handle your expected load as data volumes grow.

02

Secure and Automated Deployments

Using Strimzi Operator and Helm, we deploy Kafka with TLS encryption and SASL/OAuth2 authentication. Brokers and topics are managed declaratively, and services are exposed securely inside and outside the cluster.

03

Monitoring and Optimisation

We integrate Prometheus, Grafana, and Cruise Control for real-time monitoring, alerting, and automated rebalancing to keep your Kafka ecosystem running efficiently.

FAQ: Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes

Absolutely. With proper configuration (replication, probes, persistent storage), Kubernetes enhances Kafka’s reliability and recovery.

Yes. We assess your environment and recommend the architecture that aligns best with your operational goals.

Definitely. We provide deployment automation using Helm, Terraform, and GitOps workflows.

Yes. We offer full migration services from legacy or VM-based Kafka environments to modern Kubernetes-native infrastructure — with minimal disruption and full data integrity.

Yes. With the right architecture and monitoring, Apache Kafka on Kubernetes is highly stable and scalable for production use. Inteca ensures a fully managed, enterprise-grade deployment tailored to your operational needs.

Not at all. We’re cloud-agnostic. Inteca supports managed Kafka deployments on any Kubernetes environment — whether it’s AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, OpenShift, or your on-premise clusters.

Inteca implements end-to-end TLS encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), and integration with LDAP/Active Directory. We support compliance requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, PSD2, and offer audit logging and schema validation for full data governance.

Not necessarily. We support both classic ZooKeeper-based deployments and modern Kafka with KRaft mode (Kafka Raft Metadata mode). The choice depends on your system maturity and preferences — and we help guide that decision.

Absolutely. Inteca provides enterprise SLAs for uptime, recovery time (RTO), and data durability (RPO). Our Kafka engineers offer 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and proactive support as part of our Managed Kafka services.
