Enable fast, broad and reliable Apache Kafka® connectivity
Confluent Platform offers a rich pre-built ecosystem of over 120 Kafka connectors and a schema registry to rapidly and reliably build modern, real-time applications with data in motion.
Features
Pre-built Kafka Connectors
Confluent develops and works with partners who develop enterprise-ready connectors based on the Kafka Connect framework. Connectors are supported by either Confluent or our partners. A portion of them are available as managed connectors with Confluent Cloud.
Confluent Hub
Confluent Hub is an online marketplace to easily browse, search, and filter for connectors and other plugins that best fit your data movement needs for Kafka.
Schema Registry
Schema Registry est un dépôt central doté d'une interface RESTful, qui permet aux développeurs de définir des schémas standard et d'enregistrer des applications pour faciliter leur compatibilité. Schema Registry est disponible en tant que composant logiciel de Confluent Platform ou en tant que composant géré de Confluent Cloud.
MQTT Proxy
MQTT Proxy delivers Kafka-native connectivity into IoT devices without the need for intermediate MQTT brokers, eliminating the additional cost and lag. MQTT Proxy accesses, combines and guarantees that IoT data flows into Kafka without adding additional layers of complexity.
Instantly connect popular data sources and sinks
120+ pre-built Confluent enterprise connectors
The catalog of fully supported connectors includes JDBC, HDFS, AWS S3, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Salesforce, Debezium, MQTT, and many more. Some connectors are also available as managed components of Confluent Cloud, such as AWS S3, Google GCS & BigQuery, Azure Blob.
Easily find Kafka connectors with Confluent Hub
To simplify how you leverage the Kafka Connect connector ecosystem, we offer Confluent Hub, an online marketplace to easily browse, search and filter connectors to find the one that fits your needs.
Connect MQTT IoT data sources
Enable IoT data to flow into Kafka without adding additional layers of complexity. MQTT Proxy delivers Kafka-native connectivity into IoT devices without the need for intermediate MQTT brokers, thereby expanding the platform into new enterprise data sources and business applications.
Enable application development compatibility
Develop using standard schemas
Store and share a versioned history of all standard schemas, and validate data compatibility at the client level. Schema Registry supports Avro, JSON and Protobuf serialization formats.
Reduce operational complexity
Schema Registry reduces operational complexity in the application development cycle, because it eliminates the need for complex coordination among developers. Need to add a new column to a downstream database? You don’t need an involved change process and at least 5 meetings to coordinate 20 teams.
Deploy confidently in production
Scale Kafka schemas reliably
Schema Validation delivers a programmatic way of validating and enforcing Schema Registry schemas directly on the Kafka broker and with topic-level granularity. It provides greater control over data quality, which increases the reliability of the entire Kafka ecosystem.
Manage the Kafka ecosystem centrally
Simplify management for production environments using Control Center as the GUI.
- Manage multiple connectors: add, edit and delete connectors across multiple Connect clusters
- Manage every schema: create, edit and view topic schemas, compare versions, and enable Schema Validation when creating new topics.
