Additional Incident Support for Your Kafka Ecosystem

Our support system categorizes incidents into four severity levels to prioritize and address them effectively. From urgent, business-critical disruptions to non-urgent queries, each severity level ensures that your Kafka environment receives the appropriate attention and care to function optimally and reliably. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what each severity level entails.
Silver Support
Axual provides second-line support for your maintenance teams to resolve issues in private clusters deployed on-premise or in private clouds. It is available 5x9 based on EU business hours.
Gold Support
Axual provides second-line support to our customers’ maintenance teams for the resolution of issues in private clusters deployed on-premise or in private clouds, available 24/7.
An issue with Strimzi Kafka is actively causing serious interruptions to your business’s critical operations. This issue requires immediate attention, as it poses a significant risk to your business.

An issue with Strimzi Kafka that is currently functioning as expected, but you either (1) recently experienced a degradation that you are monitoring or seeking a root cause for or (2) you are seeing indicators of a potential loss of functionality to a business-critical system.
A non-urgent query regarding Strimzi Kafka. Typically, it is something that does not involve any interruption to your business's critical operations.
Coverage per channel
The tables below are based on incidents that occurred on Strimzi. We’re leaving no stone unturned to give you a clear picture of the issues and patterns within Strimzi, excluding any external application-related mishaps. This means that only incidents directly related to Strimzi are included, while incidents related to applications running on Strimzi are excluded. For example, we will not address a development coding error in a Kafka application developed by the client and running on Strimzi.
