Connect All The Things with Kafka Connect

Kafka Connect is a framework, with Apache Kafka at its core, that allows us to integrate dozens of different systems. With Connect, we can pull data from most known databases, and many SaaS applications, and send it to other databases, search indexes, analytics engines, etc. As an added bonus, with our data flowing through Kafka, we can make it available to new applications and gain even more value from our data!

In this talk, we'll see how to set up Kafka Connect, use it to integrate with some external systems, and even add a Single Message Transform to do some simple transformations along the way.
