Connect to KAFKA from ACC

[_vikas_]

Team,

Please let me know if we can connect to a Kafka topic through Adobe campaign V7 JS activity. I dont want to use any libraries (Java, python, NodeJS). Can we just connect like we connect to a REST/SOAP API.

Thanks in Advance!

Vikas.

Hello @_vikas_ ,

As I know, Kafka is real time event streaming. 

I think, it does not support http request repose by default nature. 

If you would like to use HTTP with Kafka, then you need to use REST proxy with Kafka for this purpose. 

https://www.confluent.io/blog/http-and-rest-api-use-cases-and-architecture-with-apache-kafka/

https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/tutorials/cp-demo/docs/overview.html

Once you have HTTP API, then you can connect it with ACC with JS using http request. 

As I know, Real time integration between adobe trigger and Adobe campaign via pipeline event  is based on same technology. 

Thanks, 

Parvesh
