About the need for external kafka backups
We are considering configuring an external kafka using Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK).
Is there a requirement in Pega that I need to replicate using MirrorMaker etc. in case of an MSK failure, and then recover from there if there is a problem?
In principle, the data streamed to MSK is the recognition stored on the Database. Therefore, we are considering creating a new MSK and rebuilding Pega to recover if there is a problem, without backing up the MSK.
