Moderate to move
Streaming on Exoscale: what it becomes and what it costs.
On Exoscale, Streaming becomes Kafka or Redpanda on Exoscale Compute instances. Kafka-compatible API; clients change the bootstrap servers; you run the brokers.
Effort grade
Moderate
Same software, self-hosted: you patch, back up and fix it
Cost after the move, before engineer time
40% of today
Open-source replacement exists but someone has to run it; residual is servers plus the engineer time counted separately.
Engineer time
6 h a month
To run the replacement: patching, backups, on-call. Plus about 5 engineer days for the move itself.
