Apache Kafka power today’s real-time systems with scalability, flexibility, and speed. But when the unexpected happens, recovery isn’t as straightforward as restoring a traditional database. How do you recover continuous event streams without losing data, duplicating messages, or disrupting downstream consumers? ⚡ In this session, we’ll explore Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies designed specifically for Kafka. From High Availability and redundancy to multi-region failovers, we’ll break down the practical approaches organizations use to stay resilient. Expect a deep dive into: • The resilience spectrum: HA → multi-region failover • The trade-offs between RTO and RPO • DR strategies like Backups, asynchronous Mirroring, and Cluster Linking • Real-world pros, cons, and implementation considerations
