Kafka MirrorMaker: Disaster Recovery, Scaling Reads, Isolate Mission Critical Operations

The Krux Mirror Maker is a custom solution for easily providing message replication capabilities between Kafka broker clusters.

In this article, we describe uReplicator, Uber’s open source solution for replicating Apache Kafka data in a robust and reliable manner. This system extends the original design of Kafka’s MirrorMaker to focus on extremely high reliability, a zero-data-loss guarantee, and ease of operation. Running in production since November 2015, uReplicator is a key piece of Uber’s multi–data center infrastructure.
