Using Kafka with IBM Integration Bus

You can use the KafkaProducer node to publish messages that are generated from within your message flow to a topic that is hosted on a Kafka server. The published messages are then delivered by the Kafka server to all topic consumers (subscribers). You can use a KafkaConsumer node in a message flow to subscribe to a specified topic on a Kafka server. The KafkaConsumer node then receives messages that are published on the Kafka topic, as input to the message flow.

For information about the supported versions of Kafka, see IBM Integration Bus system requirements. For more information about Kafka version compatibility, see the Apache Kafka documentation.
