Aiven provides the option to run Apache Kafka Connect on the same nodes as your Apache Kafka cluster, sharing the resources. This is a low-cost way to get started with Apache Kafka Connect. A standalone Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect allows you to scale independently, offers more CPU time and memory for the Kafka Connect service and reduces load on nodes, making the cluster more stable.

  2. Scroll down the Service overview page to the Apache Kafka Connect section and turn it on.
