Kafka Migrations Need More Than a Replicator

Mar 17, 2026 By Jonas Best In Lenses
Jonas Best & Patrick Polster Kafka migrations are one of the riskiest infrastructure projects a platform team can take on. Miss a dependency and a downstream app starts reprocessing events it already handled leading to breaking SLAs and eroding trust with application teams.
