Hi all;
After careful consideration of our user’s use cases as well as emerging needs in the serverless space, along with the introduction of Upstash Workflow, we’ve made the difficult decision to phase Upstash Kafka into deprecation period.
Starting September 11, 2024, Upstash Kafka will be transitioned into deprecation period, which will last for 6 months. It will eventually be discontinued on March 11, 2025.
During deprecation period, existing Upstash Kafka clusters and all of it’s features, including Connectors, will be fully supported. New Upstash Kafka cluster creation will not be possible.
Once deprecation period ends, all Upstash Kafka instances will be decommissioned.
We understand that our shift away from Upstash Kafka can be challenging, and we’re committed to support every Upstash Kafka user through this transition.
If your Kafka use case can be covered with Upstash Qstash, and newly announced Worklow feature, we will provide credits to cover the entirety of your migration costs. If QStash doesn’t cover your use case, our team is always there to help with any of your questions.
Please read our blog post to learn more about the background of this decision here. If you have any questions or require assistance on this change, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@upstash.com.
