Middleware & integration
A durable, high-speed log of events that many systems can write to and read from in real time.
Kafka stores streams of events, such as “order placed” or “sensor reading”, in order and for as long as you like. Producers write events; any number of consumers read them at their own pace, now or later.
Banks, retailers and logistics firms use it for real-time fraud checks, stock updates and tracking, and to feed data platforms. Running it yourself is demanding, so many choose a managed service.
Named streams of events, split up for parallel processing.
Apps that write events and apps that read them.
Ready-made connectors to databases, SaaS apps and storage.
Kafka Streams or Apache Flink transform events as they flow.
Typical ranges, not quotes. Scope, data and team size move them most.
The lakehouse platform from the creators of Apache Spark: data engineering, analytics and AI in one place.
Salesforce's integration platform, built around reusable APIs.
The open-source scheduler that runs data pipelines in the right order, every time.
