Confluent Kora

Kora is Confluent's cloud-native Kafka engine — a re-implementation of the Apache Kafka API designed to run as a multi-tenant managed cloud service. Confluent was founded by the original creators of Kafka; Kora is their answer to running the Kafka API at cloud-SaaS scale without the operational shape of a self-hosted broker fleet.
