Run Kafka on Kubernetes at Scale with Portworx

Pure Storage

We’ve benchmarked Kafka write speeds at 5 million messages/sec on Flasharray. Kafka seamlessly allows applications to publish and consume messages, storing them as records within a “topic.” Nevertheless, Kubernetes is becoming a standard across organizations for running cloud-native applications. Kafka is extremely fast.
