When to Use StreamForge

Choose StreamForge When You Need

  • selective replication to analytics or lake pipelines
  • field-level filtering and transformation
  • PII-safe replication to lower-trust environments
  • a lighter operational footprint than Kafka Connect

Choose MirrorMaker 2 When You Need

  • active-active replication
  • consumer offset synchronization
  • topic and ACL mirroring
  • Kafka Connect ecosystem integration

Choose Arroyo When You Need

  • stateful streaming SQL
  • joins and richer window semantics
  • a general stream processing engine

Positioning Rule

Good claim:

  • StreamForge is more capable than MirrorMaker 2 for selective replication and data shaping.

Bad claim:

  • Any phrasing that frames StreamForge as a universal MirrorMaker 2 replacement.
