Kafka Connect is a tool for scalably and reliably streaming data between Apache Kafka® and other data systems● It makes it simple to quickly define connectors that move large data sets into and out of Kafka● Data Centric Pipeline – Connect uses meaningful data abstractions to pull or push data to Kafka.● Flexibility and Scalability – Connect runs with streaming and batch-oriented systems on a single node(standalone) or scaled to an organization-wide service (distributed).● Reusability and Extensibility – Connect leverages existing connectors or extends them to tailor to your needs andprovides lower time to production
