Kafka Connect is a tool for scalably and reliably streaming data between Apache Kafka and other systems. In this post, I will illustrate how to set up a data ingestion pipeline using Kafka connectors. Fake customer and order data will be ingested into the corresponding topics using the MSK Data Generator source connector. The topic messages will then be saved into a S3 bucket using the Confluent S3 sink connector.

Kafka Connect is a tool for scalably and reliably streaming data between Apache Kafka and other systems. It can be used to build real-time data pipeline on AWS effectively. In this post, I will introduce available Kafka connectors mainly for AWS services integration. Also, developing and deploying some of them will be covered in later posts.

We'll continue the discussion of a Change Data Capture (CDC) solution with a schema registry and its deployment to AWS. All major resources are deployed in private subnets and VPN is used to access them in order to improve developer experience. The Apicurio registry is used as the schema registry service and it is deployed as an ECS service. In order for the connectors to have access to the registry, the Confluent Avro Converter is packaged together with the connector sources. The post ends with illustrating how schema evolution is managed by the schema registry.

We'll discuss a Change Data Capture (CDC) architecture with a schema registry. As a starting point, a local development environment is set up using Docker Compose. The Debezium and Confluent S3 connectors are deployed with the Confluent Avro converter and the Apicurio registry is used as the schema registry service. A quick example is shown to illustrate how schema evolution can be managed by the schema registry.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. In this post, we'll build a Hudi DeltaStramer app on Amazon EMR and use the resulting Hudi table with Athena and Quicksight to build a dashboard.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. In this post, we'll build CDC with Amazon MSK and MSK Connect.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. As a starting point, we’ll discuss the source database and CDC streaming infrastructure in the local environment.
