Real-time replication between edge, data center, and multi-cloud.

Hybrid cloud architectures  are the new black for most companies. A cloud-first is obvious for many, but legacy infrastructure must be maintained, integrated, and (maybe) replaced over time. Event Streaming with the Apache Kafka ecosystem  is a perfect technology for building hybrid replication in real-time at scale.

pp Modernization and Streaming Replication With Apache Kafka at Bayer

Most enterprises require a reliable and scalable integration between legacy systems such as IBM Mainframe, Oracle, SAP ERP, and modern cloud-native applications like Snowflake, MongoDB Atlas, or AWS Lambda.

Application modernization benefits from the Apache Kafka ecosystem for hybrid integration scenarios. The pharmaceutical and life sciences company  Bayer AG is a great example of a hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure. They leverage the Apache Kafka ecosystem as “middleware” to build a bi-directional streaming replication and integration architecture between on-premises data centers and multiple cloud providers:
