Overview
Apache Kafka is a popular open source streaming platform that makes it easy to share data between enterprise systems and applications. The HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Kafka implements the native Kafka protocol inside the HiveMQ MQTT broker and makes it possible to:
- Solve the difficulty of using Kafka for IoT by seamlessly integrating MQTT messages into the Kafka messaging flow.
- Add monitored, bidirectional MQTT messaging to and from Kafka clusters for a highly scalable and resilient end-to-end IoT solution.
- Forward MQTT messages from IoT devices that are connected to HiveMQ to topics in one or more Kafka clusters.
- Get information from a Kafka topic and publish this information as MQTT messages to one or more MQTT topics.
- Use the HiveMQ Kafka Extension Customization SDK to programmatically specify custom handling of message transformations between HiveMQ and Kafka.
