<p>I've been looking for specific information about high availability deployments of Kafka Connect connectors but found nothing.</p>
<p>In my case I have a Mongodb source connector deployed using the <a href="https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-helm-charts/tree/master/charts/cp-kafka-connect" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Confluent Helm chart</a>. This chart supports setting the number of replicas.</p>
<p>Is setting <code>replicaCount</code> to a value &gt;1 enough or there are other factors to consider (<code>tasks.max</code>, ...)?</p>

codependent
<p>If you want highly available workers, then it's pod replicas, yes.</p>
<p>If you want distributed tasks across workers, that's <code>tasks.max</code>; if one worker dies, then tasks get rebalanced</p>
