The Diffusion Kafka Connector is a Kafka Connect plug-in that allows web, mobile, and IoT clients to consume and send real-time and event-driven data that is stored as rich data structures within Kafka - with optimal bandwidth efficiency, at scale, and in real time. It includes a source connector for publishing real-time Diffusion topic updates to Kafka topics, as well as a sink connector that broadcasts messages from one or multiple Kafka topics to Diffusion topics.
