Explanation

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) is a fully managed service that makes it easy to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data. By using Amazon ECS with the AWS Fargate launch type, you can run containers without managing servers or clusters. This combination reduces operational overhead and provides scalability.
