Automate Data and Event Stream Handling with the Apache Kafka Integration

With our Kafka component, you can both send and receive messages through your Apache Kafka server without using extra tools. While the component supports secure methods like SASL and OAuth2, it also allows full control over broker hosts, topics, and group IDs. Because you can send messages one at a time or as arrays, it adapts to your data volume. And since it works directly on the elastic.io platform, your flows stay smooth, fast, and reliable.

Key Benefits of Our Component

• Send and Receive: Whether you produce or consume messages, the component lets you do both with ease.
• Secure Access: Since it supports username/password and token-based login, your data stays safe.
• High Throughput: When sending messages as an array, it handles hundreds per second, depending on size.
• Advanced Settings: Because you can set client IDs, topics, and partitions, you stay in full control.

Popular Use Cases

Here are a few ways you can benefit from using the Kafka component:

• Data Backup: After consuming Kafka messages, send them to AWS S3 for safe storage.
• Real-Time Alerts: When messages arrive, trigger updates in Slack for instant team communication.
• Live Reporting: As events stream in, forward them to Google BigQuery for real-time dashboards.

Because it connects smoothly with other tools and handles data securely, our Kafka component helps you build fast, safe, and smart workflows without the need for extra setup.
