A cheaper approach is to use ephemeral disk and have the replicas across AZs. You can lose up to 2 AZs and still avoid data loss. You mitigate complete region failure using mirror maker to replicate to another region. On Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Philip O'Toole wrote: > Yeah, we use provis

Yeah, we use provisioned IOPs EBS so we have good performance. We run 3 ZK nodes, one in each AZ. Quorum 2. Philip On Dec 3, 2013, at 7:31 AM, Timothy Chen wrote: > Hi Philip, > > So I wonder if you guys hit disk perf problems with EBS? It seems quite > common in the past but I haven't tri

Hi Philip, So I wonder if you guys hit disk perf problems with EBS? It seems quite common in the past but I haven't tried recently. Also can you share how you guys deployed zookeeper in AWS so that a qurom is always available? Tim Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 2, 2013, at 5:15 PM, Steve Morin

S Ahmed, This combination of Kafka and Storm to process streaming data is becoming pretty common. Definitely worth looking at. The throughput will vary depending on your workload (cpu usage, etc.) and if you're talking to a backend, of course. But it scales very well. -Suren On Mon, Dec 2, 20

Interesting. So twitter storm is used to basically process the messages on kafka? I'll have to read-up on storm b/c I always thought the use case was a bit different. On Sun, Dec 1, 2013 at 9:59 PM, Joe Stein wrote: > Awesome Philip, thanks for sharing! > > On Sun, Dec 1, 2013 at 9:17 PM, P

Loggly's use of Kafka on AWS

A couple of us here at Loggly recently spoke at AWS reinvent, on how we use Kafka 0.72 in our ingestion pipeline. The slides are at the link below, and may be of interest to people on this list. http://www.slideshare.net/AmazonWebServices/infrastructure-at-scale-apache-kafka-twitter-storm-elast
