Enable Apache Kafka® Connect on Aiven for Apache Kafka®#

To enable Apache Kafka® Connect on Aiven for Apache Kafka® services, those should be running on business or premium plans.

Warning

Aiven provides the option to run Kafka Connect on the same nodes as your Kafka cluster, sharing the resources. This is a low-cost way to get started with Kafka Connect. A standalone Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect allows you to scale independently, offers more CPU time and memory for the Kafka Connect service and reduces load on nodes, making the cluster more stable.
