Proposal
PRO-2026-0117

Event platform migration & scale-out

After our review on 14 July, here is how we would move your eleven remaining Kafka pipelines onto Asterix and scale them for the volumes you expect in Q4. The work is ordered so that every pipeline runs on both systems before we switch it over, and so that you can stop after any phase and still have something that works.
