Apa iku Kafka Connect?

Question

IT Interview Practice · Accepted Answer

**Kafka Connect** minangka kerangka kerja kanggo **nggabung Kafka karo sistem eksternal** (database, panyimpenan, layanan) — mindhah data mlebu lan metu saka Kafka tanpa nulis kode khusus, nggunakake **konektor** sing bisa digunakake maneh. Iki nggampangake pangbangun pipa data.

## Apa sing ditindakake Kafka Connect

```text
KAFKA CONNECT → a framework for streaming data BETWEEN Kafka and external systems:
  → SOURCE connectors → pull data FROM external systems INTO Kafka (e.g. a database → Kafka)
  → SINK connectors → push data FROM Kafka TO external systems (e.g. Kafka → a data warehouse)
  → uses reusable CONNECTORS (pre-built integrations) instead of custom producer/consumer code
→ "plug in" connectors to integrate systems with Kafka
```

## Napa nggunakake Kafka Connect

```text
✓ NO custom code → use existing connectors for common systems (databases, S3, Elasticsearch,
  data warehouses, etc.) instead of writing producers/consumers
✓ Reliable, scalable → handles offsets, retries, scaling, fault tolerance, distributed mode
✓ Standardized → consistent way to integrate; config-driven (declarative)
✓ Many connectors available (Confluent Hub, community) for common systems
```

## Panggunaan umum

```text
✓ DATA PIPELINES → stream data from databases into Kafka and out to other systems
✓ CHANGE DATA CAPTURE (CDC) → stream database changes into Kafka (e.g. Debezium) → react
  to data changes in real time
✓ INGESTION → bring data from many sources into Kafka
✓ EXPORT → move Kafka data to storage, search, analytics, warehouses
→ a key tool for building Kafka-based data integration/pipelines
```

## Apa sing pentinge

Namahaake Kafka Connect iku berguna sanajan iku minangka **alat kunci kanggo nggabung Kafka karo sistem eksternal**, pusat kanggo pangbangun pipa data, dadi iku kaweruh sing migunani kanggo integrasi berbasis Kafka.

Kafka Connect nyethaaki kabutuhan umum kanggo mindhah data antarane Kafka lan sistem eksternal (database, panyimpenan, layanan) tanpa nulis kode integrasi khusus.

Namahaake **apa sing ditindakake Kafka Connect** — nyediyakake **sumber konektor** (narik data saka sistem eksternal menyang Kafka) lan **konektor wastafel** (nyurung data saka Kafka menyang sistem eksternal), nggunakake konektor sing wis dibangun maneh sauntara patek khusus producer/consumer — njelas perane ing integrasi data.

Namahaake **napa nggunakake iku** — nyegah kode khusus (nggunakake konektor sing ana kanggo sistem umum kaya database, S3, Elasticsearch, lan gudang data), kaandalan lan skalabilitas (nangani offset, dicoba maneh, ngukur, lan toleransi kasalahan ing mode terstribusi), standardisasi (integrasi sing dipimpin konfigurasi, deklaratif), lan ana akeh konektor — njelas nilaine tinimbang nulis tangan kode integrasi.

Namahaake **panggunaan umum** — pipa data (streaming data antarane sistem liwat Kafka), **tangkepan data sing owah** (streaming owah-owahane database menyang Kafka, contone karo Debezium, kanggo ngeresponsi owah-owahane data kanthi real time — pola penting), ingestion (nggawa data saka akeh sumber menyang Kafka), lan export (mindhah data Kafka menyang panyimpenan, panelusuran, lan analitik) — njelas nalika Kafka Connect pas, napa-napa kanggo panggunaan pipa data lan CDC sing pusat kanggo peran Kafka minangka tulang punggung data.

Kafka Connect cukup nggampangake pangbangun integrasi data berbasis Kafka kanthi nyediyakake konektor sing bisa digunakake maneh lan kaandalan.

Sanajan Kafka Connect minangka alat kunci kanggo nggabung Kafka karo sistem eksternal (pusat pipa data lan CDC) lan namahaake apa sing ditindakake, kauntunge (ora ana kode khusus, kaandal, standar), lan panggunaan iku migunani kanggo integrasi berbasis Kafka, namahaake Kafka Connect iku migunani, kaweruh sing relevan kanthi praktis — alat kunci kanggo nggabung Kafka karo sistem eksternal liwat konektor sing bisa digunakake maneh, pusat kanggo pangbangun pipa data lan CDC, nggampangake integrasi data, lan penting kanggo peran Kafka minangka tulang punggung data nggabung akeh sistem.
