Integration

  • Apache Camel - Easily integrate various systems consuming or producing data.

  • Kafka Connect - Reusable framework to handle data int-and-out of Apache Kafka.

  • Logstash - Open Source server-side data processing pipeline.

  • Telegraf - a plugin-driven server agent writen in Go (deployed as a single binary with no external dependencies) for collecting and sending metrics and events from databases, systems, and IoT sensors. Offers hundreds of existing plugins.

Messaging Infrastructure

  • Apache ActiveMQ - Flexible & Powerful Multi-Protocol Messaging.

  • Apache Kafka - A distributed commit log with messaging capabilities.

  • Apache Pulsar - A distributed pub-sub messaging system.

  • Liiklus - An event gateway that provides reactive gRPC/RSocket access to Kafka-like systems.
