Discuss your requirement ↗

WHO THIS IS FOR

Expertise for your next decision.

Platform teams deploying Confluent on Kubernetes or reviewing storage, availability and lifecycle practices.

Deployment & ownership

Review the operator, custom resources and responsibilities across the Kafka and Kubernetes teams. Establish a repeatable configuration approach.

Storage & workload placement

Evaluate persistence, capacity, scheduling and failure-domain assumptions. Connect infrastructure choices to recovery and performance requirements.

Security & connectivity

Map certificates, identities, secrets ownership and internal or external access paths. Identify the procedures needed to maintain these controls.

Lifecycle & recovery

Plan upgrades, restarts, configuration changes and recovery rehearsals. Define pre-checks, validation criteria and rollback boundaries.

TANGIBLE OUTPUTS

What you can take forward.

  • Deployment architecture and configuration review
  • Storage and placement recommendations
  • Lifecycle and recovery runbook outline
  • Prioritised remediation and knowledge transfer

Deliverables, depth, schedule and access are agreed in writing before the engagement begins.

How we work together.

01 / Understand

Clarify your environment, priorities, success criteria and scope.

02 / Review & recommend

Work through evidence and trade-offs with your engineering team.

03 / Transfer & enable

Walk through the agreed outputs, decisions and practical next steps.

A useful starting point.

Kubernetes and Confluent versions, deployment manifests with secrets removed, storage classes, topology and your current operational procedures.

Initial discussions can use sanitised information. Any deeper access is agreed separately.

How long does an engagement take?

Timing depends on platform size, available evidence and the agreed deliverables. We confirm the scope and schedule after the initial conversation.

Can you work alongside our internal team?

Yes. The engagement can focus on assessment, design guidance, implementation support or knowledge transfer, with responsibilities agreed upfront.
