Kafka and Elasticsearch, a Perfect Match
Posted by Roland Kofler January 28, 2016Apache Kafka is a very popular message broker, comparable in popularity to Logstash.
More and more companies build streaming pipelines to react on, and publish events.
Kafka gains accelerated adoption for event storage, distribution, and Elasticsearch for projection. My friend Hannes and I call it a perfect match, so we gathered during a quiet christmas holiday to implement a connector between the two.
All code is available on Github and runs on Docker Compose.
