WHO THIS IS FOR

Expertise for your next decision.

Teams planning a new Kafka platform, expanding an existing estate or reviewing architecture before a significant migration.

Workloads & service objectives

Map producers, consumers, message sizes, retention needs and recovery objectives. Identify the assumptions that need measurement before capacity decisions are finalised.

Topology & failure domains

Compare deployment choices, broker placement and operational dependencies. Document the trade-offs for availability, cost and team ownership.

Partitions, replication & capacity

Review partition strategy, replication, storage growth and expected traffic. Build a capacity model with explicit assumptions and a validation plan.

Security & integration boundaries

Work through access models, connectivity, schema ownership and connector dependencies so platform design aligns with enterprise controls.

TANGIBLE OUTPUTS

What you can take forward.

  • Architecture overview and decision log
  • Capacity assumptions and validation checklist
  • Prioritised implementation roadmap
  • Review workshop and knowledge-transfer notes

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.

A current topology, workload estimates, retention requirements and any relevant security or recovery constraints. Sanitised diagrams and representative metrics are a useful starting point.

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.
