Strengths
Full compatibility with Apache Kafka and easy migration
CKafka is compatible with Kafka 0.9, 0.10, 1.1, 2.4, and 3.2.
CKafka is based on the existing code of the open-source Apace Kafka ecosystem. Without any changes to your existing project, you can migrate data to the cloud and enjoy the high-performance message queue services provided by Tencent Cloud Kafka.
High performance
Tencent TDMQ for CKafka team has further fine-tuned the service performance to eliminate complex parameter configuration and offer higher performance.
CKafka supports upgrade and Ascending via UI operations and is backed by a powerful IaaS layer, delivering 10% to 20% higher production capabilities than Apache Kafka.
