Kafka

​

Introduction

This document provides a detailed guide on setting up the Kafka target connector for the DataBrew project. The Kafka connector facilitates efficient and reliable streaming of processed data into your Kafka topics, ensuring that your data pipeline’s output is seamlessly integrated into your event streaming platform.

​

Requirements

Before setting up the Kafka target connector, ensure you meet the following requirements:

• Access to your Kafka cluster.
• Necessary permissions to produce messages to the Kafka topics.
• Understanding of your Kafka cluster’s configuration, including topic setup and partitioning strategy.

​

Preparing Your Kafka Cluster

To ensure smooth integration:

• Topic Configuration: Ensure that the topics you intend to produce messages to are properly configured in your Kafka cluster.
• Access Control: Verify that the DataBrew project’s user account or service has the required permissions to produce messages, and create the desired topics.

​

Cloud Setup
