The Connect API in Kafka Cassandra Sink: The Perfect Match

The Connect API in Kafka is a scalable and robust framework for streaming data into and out of Apache Kafka, powering modern streaming platforms. DataMountaineer has worked on numerous big data projects across various industries, using multiple components to handle diverse data sources. The Connect API simplifies this process by allowing developers to focus on moving data to and from Kafka. It keeps the ingest/egress layers clean and unpolluted by functional requirements, leaving business logic to stream processing engines like Streams API in Kafka, Apache Flink or Spark Streaming. The DataStax Certified Connector simplifies writing data from Kafka into Cassandra, supporting features such as field selection, topic-to-table routing, error policies for handling failures, and secure connections via SSL.
