Automotive & Mobility

Migrating petabytes of connected vehicle data to a new cloud provider — without downtime — sounds impossible. It isn't.

Automotive manufacturers and mobility platforms face vendor lock-in with managed Kafka services, requiring migration paths to new cloud providers or multi-cloud DR strategies — without any existing viable options.

The risks you're living with right now

→Vendor lock-in with Confluent, MSK, or Aiven leaves no viable exit path as costs rise

→Petabytes of historical vehicle telemetry can't be migrated without interrupting live data streams

→Migration failure risks delaying in-car software launches and connected-vehicle feature releases

→Single-cloud platform dependency creates systemic risk — one outage stops your entire data pipeline

The Solution

Vendor-agnostic Kafka migration and multi-cloud DR

Kannika Armory provides vendor-agnostic backup and restore capability enabling live, phased migration of historical and real-time Kafka data between any providers — with zero downtime and automatic schema mapping. Once migrated, keep both environments in sync as a permanent multi-cloud DR strategy.

Real Customer Story

How an automotive & mobility company solved this

The Situation

The Platform Architect at a major German automotive manufacturer was tasked with migrating their connected-vehicle data platform — petabytes of historical telemetry plus live event streams — from one managed Kafka provider to another.

The Challenge

Migrating petabytes of historical vehicle telemetry to a new cloud provider without downtime or data loss seemed impossible. Any interruption to live data streams risked delaying in-car software feature launches already committed to the product roadmap.

The Solution

Kannika Armory's vendor-agnostic backup and restore capability enabled a live, phased migration — historical data restored to the new provider while real-time events continued flowing, with automatic schema mapping ensuring 100% data fidelity throughout.

The Result

The migration completed with zero downtime and no data loss. The team retained Kannika Armory as a permanent multi-cloud DR strategy — ensuring they will never be locked into a single provider again and can switch or scale across clouds on demand.

Downtime

"Migrating the petabytes of historical vehicle telemetry data to a new cloud provider almost without downtime or data loss seemed impossible. Kannika Armory made it a planned, phased operation — and now we have a permanent multi-cloud DR strategy we didn't have before."
