DataCater Self-Managed

DataCater provides the self-managed hosting option in the Enterprise plan for operating DataCater on your infrastructure or in your cloud environment. DataCater operates streaming data pipelines as containers and can be deployed on top of Docker or Kubernetes. While the Docker-based deployment is mainly intended for proof-of-concept projects, Kubernetes offers almost unlimited scalability, tremendous robustness, and failure tolerance for the use in production. DataCater Self-Managed can be operated in private, public, or hybrid cloud environments.

DataCater is based on the ecosystem of Apache Kafka - the industry standard for event streaming. It uses Apache Kafka as a distributed log for storing data change events, Apache Kafka Connect for implementing source and sink connectors, and Apache Kafka Streams for implementing streaming data pipelines. DataCater can be deployed on existing or new Apache Kafka clusters. We can also help you get started with Apache Kafka.

The installation of DataCater Self-Managed is very straightforward and can be performed in a matter of minutes. We provide a Helm chart (Kubernetes deployment) or Docker Compose configuration (Docker deployment) to set up DataCater easily.
