Advantages

Why teams choose this HostOya option when comparing managed services, hosted app services, and service alternatives.

Provision Kafka next to the applications that use it instead of switching between disconnected consoles.

Use managed credentials and internal service discovery patterns for app-to-service connections.

Keep service status, connections, storage, logs, and metrics in the same workspace model.

Use familiar open-source services while preserving a path to external managed clouds when needed.

How It Works

1

Select service

Choose Kafka from the managed services catalog.

2

Place in workspace

Attach it to a workspace, environment, and product region.

3

Reserve capacity

Pick version, storage, CPU, and RAM profiles.

4

Connect apps

Inject KAFKA_BROKERS and private networking details into connected workloads.

Use Cases

Use Kafka as a primary dependency for APIs, workers, serverless functions, or full-stack apps.
Create private app connections without exposing service ports publicly by default.
Start with simple CPU, memory, and storage profiles before adding advanced operations.
Keep database, cache, messaging, storage, search, or observability resources visible to the product team.
