Overview
By connecting Apache Kafka as RudderStack Source, you can ingest events from your existing Kafka topics, transform them in real-time, apply data governance rules, and forward events any of RudderStack's 200+ integrations.
Once the source is configured and enabled, all the events from Kafka will automatically start flowing to RudderStack.
By adding Kafka as a source in RudderStack, you can:
- Skip custom integration work or pipeline management required to integrate Kafka data with other tools in your stack
- Centralize and simplify transformation and data governance across Kafka topics
- Forward Kafka messages to over 200 integrations, including business tools and data warehouses
Apache Kafka is a popular distributed streaming platform. It allows you to handle large-scale workloads with high throughput and low latency. Apache Kafka is highly available and is used across the world for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications.
