Demo: Migrate Clients to Confluent Cloud with Kafka Copy Paste (KCP)

KCP (Kafka Copy Paste) is a free open source CLI tool designed to automate migration to Confluent Cloud, including client migrations. This tool cuts migration times from months to days, helping you achieve a stress-free, near zero-downtime migration. In this demo, Senior Technical Marketing Manager David Marsh walks through how KCP orchestrates client migrations alongside Confluent Cloud Gateway, which serves as a proxy for a seamless client cutover.
