Real-time event processing with Kafka

Deliver faster insights with event-based data for streaming analytics.

Modern analytics and applications consume data constantly

Digital transformation has become a top concern for business leaders. No matter your industry, your business is fast becoming a data business, and real-time applications, embedded with the smarts of streaming analytics, are the face of change.

Streaming data helps make the perfect offer to a loyal customer, alerts a mechanic to an issue before failure, or detects a cyber threat before damage is done. Predictive analytics and real-time decision making need a constant supply of fresh data. Yesterday’s data is historical data. Combine it with right-now data for insightful action.

Frequently asked questions
  • What is Kafka?
    Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform (also known as a “pub/sub” messaging system) that brokers communication between bare-metal servers, virtual machines, and cloud-native services. StreamSets supports Kafka as a source, broker, and destination allowing you to build complex Kafka pipelines with message brokering at every stage.
  • What is the difference between Kafka and Kafka Streams?
    Kafka is the data streaming platform, while Kafka Streams is a client library for building applications and microservices, where the input and output data are stored in Kafka cluster. It combines the simplicity of writing and deploying standard Java and Scala applications on the client side with the benefits of Kafka's server-side cluster technology.
