Getting up to speed with Kafka Connect by Kate Stanley
Kafka Connect is an ideal tool for building data pipelines. It is both reliable and scalable, with a pluggable interface that lets you flow data between Kafka and any system you need. A Kafka Connect pipeline is made up of many different components, and understanding how each of these interact together is essential, even for the simplest setup.
In this talk I introduce the Kafka Connect components, from connectors, to transformations, to the runtime itself. I will also share some of the new capabilities and best practices that you should be aware of to help you run and manage connectors effectively. Finally I’ll talk about some different open source projects that have been built on top of Kafka Connect that can help you get the most out of the framework.
Whether you have only just started using Kafka, or you’re already deploying Kafka Connect in production, this session will set you up to get the most out of your data pipelines.
