Apache Kafka project is more than just a messaging broker. It includes several components and one of them is Kafka Connect - Kafka’s own integration framework for easy integration between Kafka and existing applications and data systems. Kafka Connect is of course not the only tool you can use to integrate Kafka with other applications. Apache Camel is another popular open source integration framework with great support for Apache Kafka. How do these compare? And what happens when you decide to create a hybrid of these two and write a Kafka Connect connectors based on Apache Camel? Will it be Apache Cafka or Apache Kafmel? And can it run easily on Kubernetes thanks to the power of operators? Find out more in our talk which will give an introduction to both Kafka Connect and Apache Camel and show how they can be used together. No previous knowledge of Apache Kafka or Apache Camel is required.
