title: Mirrormaker2.0 vs confluent replicator
body: <p>Apache Kafka introduced <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-382%3A+MirrorMaker+2.0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mirrormaker2</a>(MM2) with the release of Kafka 2.4. MM2 is significantly better than MM1.</p>
  
  <p>I know that from the architecture standpoint, MM1 used to work using producer and consumer API whereas MM2 uses connect API. I believe that the design of MM2 was inspired from <a href="https://www.confluent.io/confluent-replicator/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Confluent Replicator</a>. Confluent Replicator is finely integrated with Confluent tools. But apart from that, <strong>what is the difference between MM2 and confluent Replicator</strong>?</p>
