Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When disasters strike your cluster down
Your data can't just disappear
Active-passive keeps a backup crown
One region leads, the other waits here
Primary serves all the traffic load
Secondary mirrors every byte
When the leader fails along the road
The passive wakes up for the fight

[Chorus]
Three patterns for recovery dreams
Active-passive, active-active schemes
RPO RTO guide your way
How much data loss, how long delay
Monitor that replication lag
Keep your Kafka systems flying the flag
Multi-region, disaster free
Strimzi patterns guarantee

[Verse 2]
Active-active runs them both alive
Two regions serving at the same time
But conflicts come when writes arrive
Need resolution paradigms
Last writer wins or timestamp rules
Vector clocks can solve the race
Custom logic with your tools
Keeps consistency in place

[Chorus]
Three patterns for recovery dreams
Active-passive, active-active schemes
RPO RTO guide your way
How much data loss, how long delay
Monitor that replication lag
Keep your Kafka systems flying the flag
Multi-region, disaster free
Strimzi patterns guarantee

[Bridge]
Recovery Point Objective shows
How much data you can lose
Recovery Time Objective knows
How long downtime you can choose
Milliseconds matter here
Watch the lag between your sites
JMX metrics crystal clear
Keep replication in your sights

[Verse 3]
Stretch clusters span across the zones
Single view but latency cost
Mirror Maker clones and owns
Cross-region data never lost
Choose your pattern by your need
Business rules will be your guide
Availability or speed
Let requirements help decide

[Chorus]
Three patterns for recovery dreams
Active-passive, active-active schemes
RPO RTO guide your way
How much data loss, how long delay
Monitor that replication lag
Keep your Kafka systems flying the flag
Multi-region, disaster free
Strimzi patterns guarantee

[Outro]
When the storms of failure rage
Your patterns keep you safe and sound
Turn another data page
Multi-region, battle-bound
