Inventory topics, clients, connectors, schemas and access dependencies. Identify compatibility questions and workload constraints early.

Connectivity & access design

Review network paths, identity ownership and access requirements with your cloud and security teams. Agree how applications will reach the platform.

Migration & cutover planning

Define replication, validation, application changes, rollback conditions and cutover responsibilities. Downtime targets are agreed against the actual environment.

Operations & cost awareness

Review monitoring, ownership, capacity assumptions and usage patterns. Define how the team will investigate incidents and manage platform changes.

TANGIBLE OUTPUTS

What you can take forward.

  • Migration readiness and dependency register

  • Operations handover and prioritised next steps

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.

Your current Kafka topology, client and connector inventory, cloud network constraints, desired migration window and recovery expectations.

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.
