Hi, typically a move from queue based messaging (such as IBM MQ) to stream based messaging (i.e. Apache Kafka) is driven by a change in application architecture which would require you to re-write your applications. Apache Kafka isn’t a drop-in replacement for IBM MQ because they work very differently and are suited to different application styles. This blog post goes into more details around that: https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/2018/05/18/comparing-messaging-event-streaming-use-cases/
If you are looking to introduce applications that are event-driven using Apache Kafka then it might interest you to know that we have a fully supported Apache Kafka offering with value add capabilities called IBM Event Streams. You can see more details here: https://www.ibm.com/cloud/event-streams
If you are interested in getting data from IBM MQ into Apache Kafka we provide a connector that will do just that: https://ibm.github.io/event-streams/connecting/mq/ additionally, if you have support entitlement to IBM Event Streams you also get support entitlement to our IBM MQ connectors
Let me know if you have any further questions.
