Amazon MSK is a fully managed service for Apache Kafka that makes it easy for you to build, run and understand applications that use Apache Kafka as a data store. Amazon MSK is 100% compatible with the latest versions of Apache Kafka, which enables you to quickly migrate your existing Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK with confidence or build new ones from scratch. With Amazon MSK, you spend more time innovating on applications and less time managing clusters. To learn how to get started, see the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
