Kannika

Kannika (specifically their product Kannika Armory) fills a critical gap in the Kafka ecosystem: Data Safety. While Kafka is durable, it is not a backup solution. Kannika provides a purpose-built solution to backup your Kafka topics to cold storage (S3/GCS) and restore them precisely when needed. They also offer environment cloning capabilities.

‍

Why use it in EDA? Mistakes happen. If someone accidentally deletes a topic or a bad deployment corrupts your event log, you need a way to hit "Undo." Kannika provides that safety net. Furthermore, their cloning capability allows you to instantly spin up a test environment with real production data (anonymized), accelerating development.

‍

How do we use it?

• Disaster Recovery: Restoring an entire Kafka cluster from a backup in minutes.
• Audit & Compliance: Archiving events for years to meet legal requirements.‍
• Test Data Management: Cloning production streams to test environments for realistic QA.
