With Kafka at its core, Confluent offers complete, fully managed, cloud-native data streaming that’s available everywhere your data and applications reside. Using the Confluent plugin, you can send HTTP request data to Apache Kafka by constructing Kafka messages from incoming Kong Gateway HTTP requests.
Kong Gateway also provides Kafka Log and Kafka Upstream plugins for publishing logs and messages to an Apache Kafka topic:
- See Kafka Log
- See Kafka Upstream
Note: This plugin has the following known limitations:
- Message compression is not supported.
- The message format is not customizable.
- Kong Gateway does not support Kafka 4.0.
