Want to replace Confluent Cloud / AWS MSK (Managed Kafka event streaming) with software you run and own? These 2 Nomad Packs give you a batteries-included, host-networked deployment on HashiCorp Nomad — one command to add the registry, one to run.

Apache Kafka — a distributed event-streaming platform for high-throughput publish/subscribe messaging, streams and event sourcing. Deployed as a single-node KRaft broker (no ZooKeeper) as a host-networked Nomad service.
Redpanda — a Kafka-compatible streaming data platform in a single binary (no ZooKeeper/JVM), with a Kafka API, HTTP proxy, and schema registry. Deployed here as a single-node dev-container instance, host-networked with a data volume. A lighter drop-in for Apache Kafka.
