Migrate to Condense. Turn Kafka into a Complete Streaming Platform

Migrate to Condense. Turn Kafka Clusters into a Complete Streaming Platform

Migrate from Apache Kafka, Confluent, AWS MSK, Aiven or Redpanda without rewriting your Kafka applications. Consolidate stream processing, connectors, apps development, observability & platform ops on one platform.

Migrate from Your Existing Kafka Platform 

Whether you're running self-managed Kafka or a managed Kafka service, Condense provides a straightforward migration path without requiring you to rebuild your existing Kafka applications.

Select your current platform to see what changes and what stays the same :

OSS Kafka
Confluent
Amazon MSK
Aiven
Redpanda

Why Teams Migrate

Operating self-managed Apache Kafka clusters requires ongoing management of brokers, upgrades, monitoring, scaling, security, and disaster recovery as workloads grow. Building production streaming applications also requires stream processing, connectors, application development, observability, and operational capabilities, which are often spread across multiple tools and platforms, increasing operational complexity.

CURRENT CHALLENGES

MIGRATE TO CONDENSE

Operate & maintain Kafka clusters, ZooKeeper/KRaft, upgrades, monitoring, scaling, & DR internally 

Eliminate Kafka infra management with a fully managed Kafka-native platform deployed in your own cloud

Deploy and manage separate solutions for connectors, stream processing, observability & apps development.

Get connectors, stream processing, observability and AI-assisted application development in one platform

Scaling, patching, and upgrades require continuous platform operational effort

Automate streaming platform lifecycle from upgrades and infra management to applications deployment & Ops

Migration Complexity

Reuse existing producers, consumers, topics, schemas, ACLs & apps with a structured migration approach.

WHAT CONDENSE REPLACES

Replace self-managed Kafka infrastructure with a fully managed, Kafka-native streaming platform that includes stream processing, connectors, application development, observability, governance and enterprise operations while preserving 100% data sovereignty through BYOC.

Migration Expertise

Migration Expertise

From planning and validation to cutover, our Kafka experts work alongside your team to ensure a structured and predictable migration

How Migration Works

Connect

STEP 1

Connect Condense to your existing Kafka environment. We replicate topics, consumer groups, schemas, ACLs, and connectors while your current platform continues to run

Validate

STEP 2

Run both environments in parallel to verify data consistency, application behavior, and consumer performance. Validate producers, consumers, stream processing applications, and integrations before migration

Cut Over

STEP 3

Update your Kafka bootstrap servers and switch traffic to Condense. Existing Kafka clients continue to work with minimal configuration changes, allowing your team to migrate with confidence
