Simplify Your Work on Integrations with Apache Kafka

Any messages appearing in the application can be published in a special Kafka topic. It might be any document in the ERP system or any user action on the website, including clicks, adding to favorites, adding/removing from the Cart, filling in forms, viewing pages (and a visit depth), can be sent and distributed by the specified Kafka topics. So, other topics (consumers) can subscribe to the necessary topics for various purposes, such as monitoring, analysis, reporting, personalization, etc.

Kafka provides the opportunity for the logging and log records monitoring. Log records can be published in Kafka topics, and logs can be stored and processed in the cluster for as long as it is necessary. If you have a special monitoring app, it will be able to get data from Kafka topics in the on-line mode.

All Kafka messages are added to the log (saved to a drive) and stored until the moment of clearing the log history, which a user sets in advance. Due to this feature, Kafka can be used as a reliable source of data (unlike RabbitMQ, which deletes messages right after delivery).
